Mineral spirits = paint thinner. Not the same as lacquer thinner or turpentine though; check the can. I like using mineral spirits because it removes grease, oil and old wax without eating into plastics. Not sure how well isopropyl alcohol works on old wax, but it might be OK. You really want to remove all old contaminants to get the best adhesion with your paint job. I've used the Dupli-color trim black before myself on wiper arms and it's not bad. Does tend to fade in the sun after a few years, but on your headlight housings, that probably won't be much of an issue.

You can get trim paint at most auto parts stores. DupliColor makes a full line of this stuff, designed to restore plastics like those on bumpers, trim, bezels, etc. Just make sure to follow the prep otherwise it won't last long.
