Not sure what you are asking.
If you do not like the orange markers (I don't), then go on ebay and buy clear markers (the ones for the S class) or get the orange ones painted to match your car.

If you don't like the orange lights you have a few options:

1. Paint the orange covers body color
2. Buy a new European bumper and replace it with yours so there aren't the holes for the lights
3. Fill in the holes and repaint your bumper to remove the lights

There isn't really a good way to disable the light bulb, so your best bet is to just hide it behind the bumper so you won't get the error message.

on some models such as w211 you can turn them off via star. Mine are turned off.

That's good to know! Just need to find a mechanic that's able/ willing to do so. But if that's the case, I'll have the mechanic try on my W208 next time.
