A while back I added material animation for changing OpenGL emissive material properties on the fly, so that a dimmer could be added to the P51D Cockpit. Subsequently it was rewritten by Melchior IIRC.
Most of the aircraft doesn't actually have this configured, but if you are interested you could study the P51D configuration and perhaps add similar support to the cessnas. The property names won't have effect except for the aircraft that have been configured to modify emissive properties on certain cockpit objects depending on that property-name's value.
