Do you have A2A 3Dlights?
Fairy nuff.
my Cub is highly modded from default, to the point where my VC light co-ords would be way out. I adjusted my reference and CoG points, hence my settings will not work. From my back-ups, I see the default comes with a VC light entry, so I'm not sure what your asking, if your definitely looking for backlit gauges, swapping them for gauges that light up may be necessary.
I'll go take a shot of mine at night, let me know if it similar to yours?

as far as I can tell, this is the earliest cfg entry I have with VC light,
[lights]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 4, -1.1, 0.00, 1.50, fx_vclight,
might help?

Using the following generic aircraft.cfg lights section as a reference,
[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 4, -1.1, 0.00, 1.50, fx_vclight,
The 3 entries after the 4 represent fore/aft , left/right, and up/down coordinates for the effect fx_vclight. It casts a glow without showing the source. Try moving the source around to see what looks good. You can also roam around the effects folder and try other vc lights from other aircraft. I've found several that I think are better than the default pink/red one. Be careful though, I got some that looked just right inside but then from the outside the cockpit and near-by surfaces glowed red!
If it is the 2D panel, open up the panel folder and look for this section:
[Color]
Day=255,255,255 <---overall saturation
Night=225,117,89 <---2D panel face
Luminous=200,200,101 <---2D gauges
with the numbers indicating relative luminosity, 225 max. Look at this section in aircraft that have nice subdued night colors and try copying the values over. Trial and error is needed here. Have fun
