SPDY,
If you want to try that shot again to get some light on the screens, try using fill flash (about 2 stops under ambient light) or have a friend along to hold a reflector (big piece of white foam core will work) to bounce some light onto the front of the car. Of the two, I prefer the reflector since it's using natural light. However, neither will look "real" as the light is actually coming from the side of thecar.
Good luck!
