Cessna T207A Landing & Taxi Light Effects, located in front of Wing, do not illuminate Runway

Description of the issue:
The Cessna T207A taxi and landing light effects are located in front of the wing, causing them to be visible from the rear of the aircraft. Even so, they do not illuminate the ground.

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
First seen v1.6.31.0 (just acquired the aircraft).

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. In free flight, select the Cessna T207A , start a flight at any parking spot any airport, select a time after dusk & clear skies preset for convenience.
  2. Enter the cockpit.
  3. Turn on the battery, taxi and landing lights. Notice how the lights do not illuminate the ground.

Same with me. In flight, landing lights very bright from the back and invisible from the front. When taxiing, ground in front of aircraft is pitch black–the taxi and landing lights just seem to be pointing backwards.
