It really depends on the color of your window trim, grill, etc. Just match it to the overall theme of your car.

IMO flat black or semigloss black looks better on sporty looks. But if you're rockin big shiny wheels with lips, it's better to go with gloss black.

For headlights, because it's encased by the clear housing, it really doesn't matter. I did satin black for mine but I think the change would be very subtle if it were glossy.
