I having a hard time visualizing your idea. What would the light illuminate? Does it shine on the driver, the dash. Please expound on your concept.

If bright enough it might be great for map reading, etc. In any event, it would have to be switchable, since it would be very distracting while driving at night.

I think any light that is bright enough would also distract you from the road ahead

Too much brightness and your night vision could get knocked out briefly - enough to get you in trouble
