It looks like you are using 2 lights for each street lamp. I would have put a spot light at the light itself, then adjust its color and falloff rate to get a nice stream of light, i find a little fog a nice touch too

Both scenes have the same shadows, that is very inaccurate. The lighting in both scenes is too flat, I would say mostly due to inaccurate shadows, or the complete lack of shadows in the background buildings. They look like image planes or background images and some PS work could be done to add shadow detail to match the scenes to improve the overall look.
For the night scene, if the sky is that dark I would expect there to be a lot less light in the scene, or a lot less white/grey light anyways. The moon gives off a blueish tinted light which should make the scene feel colder. Under such lights things like the yellow paint on the road should look a lot less yellow and infact a little more green.
The street lights as mentioned by NeoStrider give off orange light, however if you look on the ground or on objects that they light the colour they receive is a much less intense orange as when you look into the bulb. So I might recommend using 2 lights in them, one light to give you the glowing red/orange with a faloff, and then a spot with a less diffused orange/red for the light that is actually emitted onto most objects from the street light.
Don't forget about awesome tools like photoshop, painter, or any other photo editing program. You may find it a lot less time consuming/easier to edit/create the necessary effects in a post production/editing program. A lot of the stuff in the scene now appears to be quite flat and you could manually add your shadows/light. Just something to keep in mind based on the scope of your project.
Cheers,
Alexander

I'm not too familiar with lighting as well...I think that's kind of one of the trickiest part to do.
One thing I do notice is the pattern of lights in the apartment buildings. They don't look "random" enough. It looks like you put one light on, then one off next to it, then one light off below the light on, then off, and so on. I don't see any lights that are on, and NEXT to each other.
Plus, change the hue of the lighting in the apartment buildings. I don't know if it's really a big deal, but if you really look at an apartment building like that at night, the lights inside are different due to people using different type or wattage of bulbs. (Yeah I know, I'm anal!).
The starry night background may need a little bit work. It seems the stars are blurry, and the sky is not "pitch black". I'm used to seeing the sky just a tad bit cooler than complete black, and the stars are sharp white.
Wish you best of luck on completing this project!
