I think it would depend on what color your car is and how glossy you want the housing to look. Personaly i would meet halfway and go for the semi-gloss.

did mine gloss black and it looks really good. and if you plan on gettin a carbon fiber hood then it would match because they are pretty glossy

u just used a flathead screwdriver and a hairdryer. then i taped off everything and painted it, put it back on with silicon adhesive and then i painted a black ring around the outside oh the plastic cover because it wasn't lookin too clean with white and clear silicon.
