Narrative:
Landed on runway 9 at mia; and rolled out to the end of the runway. I'm aware of the notams and construction going on in miami. When clearing at the end of runway; I almost ran over a blue taxi edge light; which was next to concrete barriers on my left; which distracted my focus when exiting the runways. The taxi markings were not visible; no lights; poor paint; and the right side of the taxiway was completely dark. There should be some sort of lighting at the end of the runway; instead of just a dark black 'hole.' someone is going to wipe out an edge light or taxi onto the grass without suitable markings and lighting.
