Second question, even if you don't want to get rid of those (perhaps useless) nav lights, are you wanting to turn them on whenever you feel you need to turn on your radio's lighting? Now more seriously, wire your radio lighting to its own power (lighting always on if the radio is on), or to the instruments lighting, if your plane has it.
