You could always try smoke the stock ones and if they don't come out good you could buy the Halos. There also used to be a guy on ebay that sold new f-body headlights cheap, they looked like OEM but not from GM. Did you search for any write ups on the smoked headlight mod yet? I remember a few guys posting really good directions.

You might find more/better info by looking for "painted headlight" instead of "smoked headlight".

I like the Halos. I think they go well with the hood lines- much like the stock ones. Anyway, go with what you are comfortable with. Personally I wouldn't take apart my stock headlights, unless I had another set to fall back on, in case I fugged them up. 
i like the looks of the halo, its different. but like said above, they dont flow with the factory GM hoods very well, atleast not as good as the stock lights. i painted mine a few months ago and had no problems. i was skeptical, but after it was done, i was like wow, that was so worth the couple bucks in paint and few hours of messing in the garage to get them done. i say save your money and try painting yours. if you mess them up, buy the halos.

Personally I think that Halos look like crap on our cars. Paint your headlights. It is not as hard as you think. I was heasitant to put mine in the oven, but damn they came out nice.
