Not at all difficult. Take them out and have them painted. This is fairly easy; I have done it on a S55, CL55, E 55, SL 55 and an S550. If you do not have the skills to do it, take your markers to a body shop. I did this on the S and CL (took them to a body shop) and finally bought spray paint from Paint scratch and did it my self. If I might say so did a better job than the shops.

sand them with 600 to 800 wet, and paint w/ white spray. Light coats.
But no light will come out of them. Why dont you get the euro clear ones ?

You should also clear coat them. The light will come out of them. My SL55 is black, the reflectors are painted black and the light shows through.

Get the european bumper strips, much cleaner, OEM factory pieces with a factory look - and no lines around the reflectors! I have them on my 55 and 65. You can get them from steve @ www.mbenznl.com
