Change to hydroponic light bulb and use solar powered trickle charger on the dashboard?
-
A socket plug (don't know the English term...)?

If you're determined to do this then you must take all reasonable precautions to protect life and property.
Suitably rated overcurrent and leakage current devices will figure in there somewhere. -
I've been using something similar to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-RSP600-Solar-Tricle-Charger/dp/B00C9ZLSE6 on my Porsche for over a year now. So yes, you can use the light. If you have windows it's OK, if not, leave the light on.

My (rented) garage has lighting but no power. To run all the power tools I run an extension lead over from the flat, which means that the cable runs across the tarmac apron between the flat and the garage, but it's only for the periods I am actually working so it's fine.
I am now going to clear the garage out so I can put the new car in there- the car which has been wired for a trickle charger.
Can I use the lighting power in some fashion which is safe to run 12v into the car via a trickle charger so it stays topped up and happy, or will this burn the car to the axles and leave the entire row of garages as a terrifying memory in the minds of the local fire crews?
I'm not paying to run power to a garage that isn't mine, and indeed is owned by total cunts.
