Who did you get them from?? Mine are the real OEM Nissan ones and I have been running them for 3 years now without any problem.

oem is the only way to go. any aftermarket light will show problems, whether its light out put, yellowing, or fitment.

im told that the only cefiros that work well, whether it be fitment or output are the OEM ones. who exactly sells these. I see the same guy sell cefiros on Ebay all the time which usually go for about $150. Then i see them for like 225 or something from Paradox. are these the same? those who have got them and are very pleased, who did you purchase them from? thanks guys.

I've never tried HIDs, but the beam pattern on my OEM cefiros is a lot better than my stock 9004s.
