Got a 50mm f1.8 and a tripod for my birthday (and some nd filters and a optech strap and non photography stuff) and had a go at light trails took quite a few pics and this was my favourite.

Nice shot but I think its a bit dark (though to be fair my work monitor is darker than it should be).

I'd like to see the trails a bit more balanced so there is as much red light as white. Difficult to organise though, I know

It's a tad dark on the left.

If you do a re-shoot time it just right so the skye still has some light but it's way to dark not to have lights on. That way you get sky detail and light trails. A 30 sec exposure should see you good.

I did want it darker but may retry again a bit earlier so have got more light, not tonight though as its thunder and lightening here.
Trying to balance the red and white was the hardest bit
