Hi DTDB,
There is a degree of key mapping that can be done via the standard.xml files in FSX.
I experimentally mapped the SHIFT+Z key by putting the following code into my "subset" standard.xml file (file can be found in c:/documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Microsoft/FSX/Controls, but don't confuse the "subset" standard.xml file with the "master" standard.xml file in your FSX root directory).
It worked fine with both the Acceleration Pack F18 and a 3rd-party add-on aircraft, and I also tried the same edit with TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS, and that worked successfully too.
In the KEYBOARD_MAIN section of the STANDARD.XML (subset) file put an entry in this format:
<Entry>
<Key>SHIFT+Z</Key>
<Down>TOGGLE_NAV_LIGHTS</Down>
</Entry>
It does seem that many of the Event ID's listed in the SDK documentation might be keymapped simply in this way.
For your specific case, use light types 8 and 9 instead of type 2 (since Wing and Logo lights don't exist on the F/A-18 so they won't clash with anything) and use the Event ID's, TOGGLE_LOGO_LIGHTS and TOGGLE_WING_LIGHTS with whatever keys you want to remap.
Hope this helps. And let us know how you get on.
Best regards,
-Voodoo
