My idea was to use a 12V headlight bulb at the console, same at front,
but it would be enclosed in the same kind of downward light director
that the smaller bulb used so all the light shines down on the console,
not up in the driver's face.

I had also thought about using the 3rd (identical) bulb in a
taillight--the only difference would be that it would have a red filter
over it.
