Is there room to fit a light bulb or two? You could run two in series for 
heat without much light.

Another way would be to buy a 240 Volt radiator element and some fibreglass 
tubing and make up a 12 volt heater that way. Cut the wire off the radiator 
element - 1/12 of the heater rod would be too little so use double that 
perhaps.
