I used a gloss black spray paint that said it was formulated specifically for painting plastics. I was concerned about the light bleeding through the side-markers, so I also painted the bulbs so that no light shines though the side-markers at all.
I couldn't just leave the bulbs out due to the warning light on the instrument cluster coming on when the bulb is removed/not working properly.
Oh, and one more thing, I need to locate a replacement for the piece of plastic that actually holds the bulb because it broke the lens was forced out by the road debris. It will no longer twist into the socket on the lens. Anyone know if this part can be purchased from MB?
