David, I'm not disagreeing with you, but in the electrical system diagram in the C172S Information Manual I can't find any mention of where the navigation lights are fed. Perhaps I'm misreading something? The manual does describe the navigation lights as part of the exterior lighting system

The C172P model now has fixed navigation lights and a flashing red beacon on the tail. The beacon is on by default and the nav lights are off. Here's a screenshot of a long final approach to CYOW 07 at night: http://www.megginson.com/flightsim/night-approach.png (It's more dramatic when you
