The cabin lights switch is over your right shoulder on a panel behind the FO.

You just stick the condition levers in flight, the power lever to idle and hit the START button on the overhead. In the PMDG you need to run the unfeather pump too, in reality this action is automated. IF APR is armed then relight ingwill be attempted automatically until a set RPM value is reached (I forget what) where upon the autofeather will operate, it is important to note if APR is not active you are required to manually feather the props, otherwise they will NTS cyclically. Chris 廖傑英EDIT: I found the following over at airliners.net, from a chap called 2H4. This is a manual relight procedure, usually you'd let the IEC handle much of this.
