Not really, class 1 limits output power and frequency so that protective gear is not needed when the device is in use. Many invisible lasers can damage sight i.e. the lasers used in most CD/DVD players which are infrared.
BTW, when deciding on illumination, please consider the effect on other drivers. If your choice is determined to interfere with the sight of other drivers, you might be asked to remove or modify.
