Okay you have to roll to hit with a marker light,
I can't find anywhere it says i dont get a cover save vs a marker light.
Do i get a save to ignore the effects of a marker light?

I envision a little red dot appearing on the wall next to me while i am chatting someone up.
What would you do? I would drop down away from windows and try not to let it paint my head red.
Of course if i was standing there and it was painting the back of my head.. well then.. my cover is blown.

Or do you only get saves to avoid wounds?

The same question could be rendered for search lights.

discus or point at rules

You only get saves to 'save' an inflicted wound. Unless otherwise stated. So no you don't get a save.

God it would suck if you did, poor Tau.

Yup, one of the nice things that came out of 5th for Tau. Their markerlights still work to full effectiveness. No save for you.

You've got it backwards, you need to find in the rules where it says you do get a cover save, otherwise you don't get one.

Read the rules for saving throws. You will see they are only taken against wounds. Since markerlights don't cause wounds there is nothing to save against.
