Hi gksrbckd,

if you want to switch the lights of the PMDG, you have to take their EventIDs. You use the EventIDs of the standard-B737 from the FSX if you use the presets of FSUICP for the lights.
In your PMDG folder you can find a file with the EventIDs for the PMDG

Negativ !

THIS is the OUTPUT..... With that Offset you can Readout the Position of Switch in the SIM...... But you not be able to WRITE on it.... PMDG not support Inputs via Offsets !

For Inputs you must use EVENT ID form the PMDG internal Range...... ( Like Stephan said)

Correct ID for Taxi Lights is.....

EVT_OH_LIGHTS_TAXI ......... EventID 69749
Parameter here normaly should be 0 and 1 for OFF and ON ..... If not you must use Richtclick and Leftclick.
Here Leftclick means parameter 536870912 .... Rightclick is MINUS -2147483648

You find a full list of PMDG 737 EventID here.... https://myhomecockpit.de/PMDG_737NGX_EVENT_IDs_SP1d.pdf
Good Luck !
