Not as yet, anyway.  But I've only driven a few hours at a stretch with the
dash lights on; it's possible that a longer night run would cause problems.

The bottle in my hand is marked PETE, which according to Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate
melts at 260C (or 500F).  I kind of doubt the windows get that hot, but I
suppose it is possible.
