Unfortunately, there seems to be no “standard”, how things are coded in a plane. At least i found no “red line” so far, maybe also as i totally lack of coding skills and most of the things, written in there, sound like “klingon” od “elbish” to me…
For the actually mentioned mod, the WBSim / JPLogistics Cessna 152 mod:

=== How to edit instrument lights brighter for the WBSim C152 mod ===
Edit: better always make a backup copy of any files you wanna modify or edit, to be on the save side, if anything goes wrong!
The mod got a file named: cessna152_interior.xml
Open it in a texteditor like notepad, search for Knob_Light_Panel and add the following line as marked up in the screenshot, with a maximum value like 1000
Default value would be 100, you can also enter any other value, like 500 or 600, if 1000 seems too much to you.
Save the file.
That´s all it needs for this mod, to get the instrument lights as bright as mentioned in the screenshot above. You can still finetune the brightness in your cockpit via a potentiometer.
The Default/Asobe Cessna 152 also has this cessna152_interior.xml file, but looks very different, i can´t find any place where i think i could increase the lights as in the mod.
Other planes don´t even have such a “interior.xml” file at all, makeing it even worse for me to think of, where the needed editing would be needed.
Maybe it is a trivial task for someone, who is into modding planes or being a plane developer. So i was creating this thread, hoping to maybe catch the attention of such wizards, who know, how to solve this miracle…
