It helps to place them there before you glue, because IIRC the glue action tends to pick up the light's coordinates.  Since the group's coordinates are what gets used, not the geometry, they can throw things off a little.  Otherwise, just being there is enough.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

if it is a part that moves, the light must be places in its rotational center, otherwise do as you please.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Are you 100% sure about this? Because i just finished rescaling my model (all the light positions got screwed, and i deleted all the FP lights) and exported it to modelview just fine. Everything seems to rotate perfectly but this is probably becasue when i set up the axes the lights were in the centre of the object.
