Narrative:
I landed on runway 22L and turned right onto runway 33R as instructed. I mistakenly turned right onto the runway edge line of 33R thinking it was the center line and hit a runway edge light. I realized this after shutting down and seeing the prop damage. In assessing this from looking at google earth; it seems wrong that runway 22L doesn't have a gap in its edge line at the point it crosses 33R which would have made the center of runway 33R much more obvious. This was clearly my error but one that could be much less likely if runway markings are evaluated. I hope this situation is looked at and reconsidered in how runway edge lines are painted.
