Is there a trope for where... It's night. Two people are sitting in a car. They might be on a stake out, or they might be waiting to meet someone. The driver has the dashboard lights on, but by all rights you should barely be able to make out the passenger. Because for no good in-universe reason, there's a ridiculous amount of light coming off the dashboard, the foot-wells , the console, even the door pockets, illuminating the occupants in an unnatural, yet productionly useful manner.
