Bernhard, you could use Rapido's Easy-Peasy battery-powered lighting for your cars. The on/off function is controlled by a magnetic wand.
As for the cars, I'm pretty sure they're also available as kits - I believe my LHS has some on their shelves.
If you use black paper to block the light, you could cover its inside surface with either a lighter coloured paper or some thin styrene. Another option to use for blocking light is aluminum foil - it's probably easier to form into corners and curved areas, although, as you've discovered, you'd still need to have good access to the car's interior. On an un-built kit, it might be possible to install the foil over the entire inside walls of the car, paint the interior, then cut out the window openings.
