Let's have a night vision option. Useful for mining in the dark area of rings.
Have the visual aspect look cool. Customizable R-G-B colorframe.
Why not?

Headlights.
So last century
Yes please Frontier or if not can we have better lights? It makes no sense for the range and angle of a massive ships lights be so small.
Right on Commander

We fly WW1 planes in space, no automation, aid or anything. Game design decision my friend. I dont see any harm in night vision but... wont happen probably.
Why not have a @%!$ navigation radar instead?

Range of headlights is actually pretty accurate, bear in mind we're talking about distances of several kilometers. I'd suggest adding a core internal module to all ships named Headlights that allows us to fit bigger and/or more powerful headlights or even things like Flashlight Drones that can be tsetup to fly near to your ship or go towards your target.

Vision Modes were suggested a long time ago.
NVG , IR , UV, EO Synthetic Imaging... different Options to spice up operations in dark spaces, all with pros and cons.
PS.
I wouldn't mind those modes, would make night-time operations (Mining, RES Combat) much more enjoyable, additionally one could finally make the dark sides of Planets >dark< .

^^^^^ this this this. Headlights on the ships are so weak. I have to get right in front of a rock before they even show up.
That would be great! [yesnod]
It's a core game play decision to make these space ships less technically capable than a 21st century airplane. I don't know why they even have glass canopies. Airliners won't have windows soon. These space ships should have synthetic vision based on radar/visual/IR blended images, which we even use on some fighters now. Hell, the new HMD used on the F-35 (and others) is more high tech than this space ship.
It might be possible to synthesize it using a colour matrix. I wonder if the devs have considered that.
We kinda have something on the subject in game already. When you try to enter low orbit around landable planet from dark side, when you come close enough its no longer dark it gets illuminated enough to see features of surface. If ED made this surely they can make some low light intensity mode switch or use scanner which detects heat to atleast have some infrared imaging. Mining on dark side of rings is pain. This wont affect gameplay in bad way maybe make it more interesting when used in combat.
