Phosphorecent (Glow in the dark) powder... any ideas?

I've got a bunch of blue (europium based) phosphorescent powder and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
I was thinking it might be cool to stick some on the headlight reflector or perhaps integrate it into the inside of the car somewhere...

Any fantastic ideas out there?

Do the headlight reflectors and then your lights will keep it charged. I have some of the Duplicolor stuff but I never did come up with a project for it.

I can only think of pranks for this stuff. Is there a nuclear powerplant nearby?

I think I might put it in a plexiglass tube and build an oscillation overthruster, or flux converter to go into the area in front of the shift lever.
