Why not just wear an LED headlamp? Red, white, whatever color you
prefer.
The light always shines where you point your nose.

After wearing one for several flights, I found it to be very
uncomfortable. No matter how loose I made the strap (just short of
falling down), the pressure on my forehead gave me a headache after an
hour or so. I've now got one of those 3-LED lights you clip on the
front of a ball cap. Same lighting, no square indent on my
forehead! The only thing I miss is that the headlamp had an up/down
swivel...abit better for looking down at a map.

Yeah, well, whatever works for you, but I have found that something like
that is more effective and lots cheaper that trying to improve the panel
lighting. My Saratoga is well lit, but I still wear the headlamp. And for
renters, you are on your own for lighting.
