Also, are your eyes moving while trying to focus on these lights and colours?

If you don't see colors, but you can see something like light, start there. The concept is of course to develop these internalized dream senses. I assume every person will start with being better at one thing than another. If seeing color is difficult, but seeing light is easier you could skip color for now and work on making the lights form a circle and so on. When that portion of your brain is sitmulated to develop its self, all other HH manipulations will be easier. Maybe you work on it for a week and can make some basic shapes or whatever, then go back to color and see if you have developed enough skill to easily start that trick.
I use these tricks as to enter WILDs. After I reach SP I start to create the beginning of a dream whether my brain is ready or not. Commonly I hit SP then uses my tactile sense to create a feeling of my arm moving. Then I use visual skills to create two intersecting glowing lines with a thick end to represent looking down at my arm and hand. I try to sincronise both senses, so that I get a low grade lucid dream of my moving my arm and watching it. After that is easy, I develop the hand a little and recreate the experience of moving my hand and making basic jestures and can see this in low definition and really feel like I am in a weak LD. If I do this as a WBTB with at least 5 hours sleep, I have amazing luck with my WILDs. I don't like bragging, so just 1 sentence on it (I have had and journaled 20 LDs in 14 days.) Usually at this point I relax and watch for a minute and my brain is happy enough to start a basic LD such as vague images of a room or forest and me having a poorly defined dream body I can explore with. I start my lucid experience now, and every minute I am in the lucid the details will improve, so that after 2 or 3 minutes I am in a full blown LD.

Eyes moving? The natural tendency at first is to have your eyes react, but that is something you will overcome with time. The eyes actually have no function in this exercise at all. Eventually you can even switch you prespective such as feel like you are looking at things behind you. No harm if your eyes do move, but it is just a matter of your brain finally realizing these impulses are not coming from your eyes.
