Krylon's stained glass paint or testors transparent paint, both are found at any local hobby store. Be sure to sand the lenses first (using 1200 grit paper up to 2000) then using a 3m polishing compound and then clean everything with alcohol preps, let it dry, mask what you don't want painted and let 'er rip. I've also seen people use clear coat to give it a shinier look, that my friend is a matter of preference.
