It isn't possible.  The taxi and landing lights should be visible from the VC but not the 2D panel.  There isn't a way to get around this, so I just taxi in the VC view.

Maybe I misunderstand you but I have plenty of aircraft in which I see booth taxi and landing lights for, without going to Virtual Cockpit view, the default B747;B737;Kingair 350 and a whole lot of others.
  I beleive that the lights are controlled with the aircraft cfg file.

I'm still a beginner, but while constructing my model, I've found I have to build additional models for the different views. If I don't add the landing lights to the VC model, I don't see them shine on the runway. My guess is that whoever built the model, failed to include that in the 2d view.

I have added landing lights to aircraft.cfg files in other aircraft, but it didn't provide the desired results.

Other than that, I would't know.

They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.
