When use auto bracketing the self timer lamp on the front and the power lamp on the back of the camera light up and stay on when taking images.

Is there a way, through ML, to switch these two lights off?

The problem is, when shooting through glass, you risk getting the front lamp as a reflection. Also if taking single images the power light stays on and I am seeing a 'colour cast' in my IR converted camera and am hypothesising the power lamp might be the cause, ie internal reflections.

The self-timer lamp is active only when bracketing is started by half-shutter (this enforces a 2-second delay to minimize camera movement). The light itself is not controllable by ML, but I'd expect it to turn off before the exposure starts.

You can disable the 2-second delay (which makes use of Canon's self-timer) from ML menu.

Power lamp... is that the SD card LED? That's easy to disable.

Just FYI: the only camera where the front LED is controllable (at the time of writing) is the EOS M2:
