Default Headlight help please

Can anyone give me some info on what aftermarket headlights to stay away from? Looking for something like halos or similar in black or smoke for my 02ss and don't want to buy something that I'm gonna hate or junk..
Recommendations anyone?

IMO they are all bad in terms of fitment. There are people who report being happy with several brands, but every time I see them in person I can find issues with gapping/fitment either where they meet the hood, fender, or bumper cover. I haven't seen any that fit as well as OEM, but not everyone is as picky. I tried a set of Depo brand versions once, which get good reports, but these didn't fit as well as OEM either.

I don't know the brand that I have but they are crap. I had to put spacers on the back of them to move them forward enough to the stock position.
