When you first try the 12 volt bulb at night, your initial reaction will be "this is not bright enough". But once you drive in the dark for a few minutes and your eyes adjust, you will begin to see inside the car just fine with the dimmer bulb.

That is a good idea. There are times when I can make out the speedo with just moonlight if it's a clear night and the moon is near full.
