Doug,
I did instrument training. mostly at night in a '57 172 with 2 red light on a dimmer,
the white dome light, and a flashlight.
The red lights didn't provide enough light to read charts/plates so we usually
left the dome light on. I wasn't looking outside, so the extra light didn't bother
me - of course the instructor was looking out for traffic which was a little
harder with all the reflections from the white dome light.
You might check if your red light is on a dimmer. If so, you might be able to
turn it up and get more light, or repair/replace the dimmer if needed. Also a
new bulb may help.
My 57 will adequately light the panel (except for the DG is a little dark, with
the red light, that is if I lean back. Now when I lean forward to adjust the
johnson bar flaps, the red light hit me in the back of the head and the panel
goes dark.
