the side markers look best when you polish them from the outside then shade them from the inside, it makes them look truly stock instead of painted from the outside.
that paint doesnt dry too shiny thats probably why your fronts dont look shiny, arent the other lenses sort of a semi gloss or satin and dont really have a high gloss to them?

all you got to do is pull the lens off the side marker housing when its off the car, its not very hard considering all thats holding it on is time and dirt
I think I have done enough to know

very good point, I know it would work fine on the front lenses which are just clear, but it would look stupid on the side markers and the rear bumper markers. Im going 99 spec anyway at some point so i dont really care regardless.
