Can you request runway lights to be illuminated on approach to an airport ?

Not the most "green" way of navigating, but it was fun nevertheless.

Its not illegal as such.
There are a few people have it on private strips and some airfields have it for emergency services flights. But they don't like it.
I was looking at a SMS relay controller last week wouldn't take much to get it to do airfield lighting. 100quid for the box and a Pay as you go sim card.

Hi MJ,
To be honest, I don't know one way or the other. I thought I recalled a fairly recent thread where somebody was adamant it was not an appropriate or authorised (according to the regs) use of voice radio within the air communications band.

Daft to me that it works brilliantly in the USA but seemingly cannot be used here (whether anybody would do anything if it got installed is another question).
