I have implemented runway lights in the following manner:

I have defined a "level of detail node" where the runway lights seen from a
distance greater than some value are rendered with simple points. Below that
distance, the runway lights are rendered with a square polygon (1 foot square,
I think)

You can get fancy and render the runway lights as cylinders when seen from
less than, say... 100 feet away.

"level of detail" nodes are great for that kinda stuff.

Good luck.
