Map Lights

[pixitha]

So I am finding that the map lights in the Yaris (2007 Sedan) are REALLY annoying to use at night. I am a bit odd (i think) and I cant stand lights shining in my eyes from inside my car while im driving at night. Now I dont mean just light in general, I mean light where I can see the bulb and such. (so indirect light is fine).

My old car (1994 subaru legacy) had the best map lights I've ever come across. They were set back into a housing with a lens focusing the light to each seat. They didn't just spread light everywhere, and I couldn't see the bulb.



Now the Yaris map lights have a very large plastic cover to spread the light around (with a rather lame attempt to focus it) and It is horrible to drive with.



Im hoping someone might have a better idea than my ghetto rigged setup, of a piece of paper in-between me and the actual map light.

(When my wife and I drive longer trips she likes to read, or read out loud, and I know yes we could try to use a book reading light).

Anyone have any ideas?
