I don't currently but I have in the past. Cuts all the windshield glare during the nighttime hours.

Small aircraft have run red instrument lights for years. Some of the the high dollar~big power chicken trucks I drove ran red or purple interior lights. It does help on the those dark rainy PNW nights.

Supposedly red lights will let you sleep again if you wake up at night (the reason they are red).
As to redlights and windshield lighting. Here is a youtube vid on it @D.Tibbitt

I ran Freightliners, FLDs and early Columbias that came stock with a red map light over the driver.

Under the dash, on the door posts & in the sleeper.

Freightliner calls them footwell lights and they are awesome! Lights up the floor board but in a way that you really only notice if your looking down. I wish Peterbilt installed them at the factory.
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
I think the idea of the red map light is to lessen the dilation of pupils, at night. Keeping pupils smaller, to avoid the quick adjustment that happens when other headlights hit your eyes. The goal being to avoid eyes getting tired quickly ( sleepy) at night.
