Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Light are not contact points

if they are not modelled light they'll be in the light section and you should be able to use the existing positions jut changing the name of the effect.

If you need to find new positions it's a bit trial and error

Look at the cfg of a default aircraft...they usually describe what each value does...that will tell you which way to move the figures which are usually in feet from the centre of the model.

Try this Hyperprep.....
3D Lights Tutorial

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
