oh yes. I'm quite familiar with the reflection syndrome. However, on a recent road trip I had success with laying a towel over my dash. The towel was light blue and yes, reflective. However, the only times that this reflectivity gave me a problem was when the towel got bunched up. This caused distorted shadows and made seeing out harder (as you were saying). In other words, you get used to the reflective effect the light dash cover has, because it has no shadows or patterns that can become visual obstacles. THESE are what impairs vision, not the light color's reflectivity.
