What does taxiing with a landing light do to night vision?

Nothing.

Doesn't do anything for your night vision, but when you blast the
other plane on the taxiway with your light it destroys his!

About the only other outside-the-cockpit light that was problematic
was when the tower turns up the Dulles runway lights into the
penetrate the fog mode on a clear dark night. The normal illumination
level is actually less than the lighting on the airport service road.
