I use DarnUI and I actually found the solution on "Better High Detail map...." mod page to work great! I don't get the green pip boy, but I do get a nice off white/amber tone that I think looks great and still allows for the map to be viewed properly.
THE DESCRIPTION PAGE Says to change the upipboy color within one of the .ini files. I would put the solution here but frankly if we use the solution, I feel we should at least stop by the page and take a look at the mod.
Really like the difference this makes. Everything seems easier to find, plus it is a lot better looking than the stock map. Always thought that looked like something from a Commodore 64 or something. (I know, I'm old} Nice work, thank you.
For those who are obsessed with green and don't want to switch PipBoy light to white, there is a mod I found that perfectly solved this problem. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/21501 Install and load it AFTER this mod, it automatically turns PipBoy Map to white without affecting any other PipBoy interfaces. Of course it overrides this mod's icons, but you get to keep green light on. Personally I recommend installing Non Transparent, because transparent ones contain some icons still hard to see.

This used to work great years ago, I'm replaying the game again but sadly this mod doesn't want to work this time.
Never mind, I fixed it :P(I'm using Vortex).
<_VUI+ShilohCleanPip> 0 </_VUI+ShilohCleanPip>to 1. You can use a greater value for extra brightness.
Please don't install extra patches.
