We also have:

    /systems/electrical/outputs/cabin-lights
    /systems/electrical/outputs/map-lights
    /systems/electrical/outputs/instrument-lights

I don't know where the navigation lights are powered from in real
life.  I'm guessing maybe this is the same thing as the beacon (?)
I don't see a specific reference to navigation lights power in the
C172 electrical diagram.

Yup, even a C172 can get fairly complex.
