Night landing had trouble seeing the crossing runway; was given a turn for an immediate exit onto the crossing runway in ZZZ. Due to loss of night vision mistook the runway edge lines to be the center of the crossing taxiway. Ended off the runway. Was able to turn back onto an active runway. Was communicating with tower control the entire time.
Pilot reported misidentifying the runway edge as the centerline during taxi which resulted in a runway excursion.
