No sarcasm in my post, it was just a question.
You should use paint meant for plastic, so if the paint in question is Krylon Plastic paint, you will be fine.
If not, you will need to sand down the surface you are planning to paint, with very fine grit sandpaper, so as to make the headlight housing more adhesive for the paint.
I would also suggest using a primer as well, if you aren't using a plastic paint.

Search would have yielded you a quicker answer than anything posted in here so far.

Gloss would match the exterior of the car, which is always a good look.

OP, ideally you want to use paint made for plastic that is labeled as either all weather or outdoor/indoor. Using a high heat paint can be a positive.
Sanding the bezels is not a must but if done can yield better results and offer increased life on the final product. Use 800-1000-2000 to sand...do not go too rough.
I did mine in flat black and like it.

Flat finish is better for headlights imo.
