Lighting Car inside a Carwash

So, I’m filming a car scene where a character drives through the inside of a Car Wash. Does anyone have any ideas on how to light this sucker? I was thinking of the Kino Car kit but was wondering if it would give out enough light.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Shooting with a DVX by the way.
 
Get an inverter for the cigarette lighter and buy some cheapo fluo's from walmart. You can suspend the lights from the visor, and on the lap of the talent. You can get kitchen mount kits for 5 to 10 dollars that would work well. If the overhead light is too bright, you can always put multiple layers of wax paper over the light until you get the desired amount.
 
Yeah, if it's too bright in the car, the car wash brushes and apparatus won't read. Some car washes have a viewing area where you can watch the cars go through. If they let you blast a few omnis through the windows it'll get the suds etc. to jump out on the car windows. That might allow more light in the car. No good for guerilla work though! Good Luck!
PS: The Kino mini flo kit is a nice efficient rental. The 9in. mini flos throw good light (w/ DC adapter.)
