You can't cover lights without using using wire caps - its a fire hazard.

It is easy to put a new fixture up, or even just change off the cover - the most popular nowdays is the drum lamp shade.... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/522136150519048622/?lp=true
If you have the option to change the globes or shades.. that can make a difference... you can also paint the base.... but... with a new wall fixture available at a cost of $100 or less... why not just change it... same goes for a ceiling fixture... there are LOTS of choices for both out there... at a reasonable cost.... and most home improvement stores offer installation at a minimal cost...
If it is a recessed ceiling fixture... call an electrician... if it is a wall mounted fixture you should be able to change it yourself, just make sure ALL the power is off to the bathroom.
I would say change the glass shades to give a different look, or change the fixture, they are very affordable nowadays
