I've always thought downtown Houston looked great at night, and even made comments about it in various posts here in CD in case some have never been to the area at night... this video captures a lot of that:

Very underwhelming as far as lighting is concerned.

Very professionally made video!

It does capture the general look & feel of Houston at night, but those downtown buildings need a complete overhaul on the decorative lighting, minus Wells Fargo Plaza's recently converted color changing band at the top. Even during the holidays Houston doesn't go all out. Lighting has always been an afterthought in H-Town & that's a crying shame. The "Energy Capital of The World" & you'd never know it by seeing those Gotham City like buildings blending in with the night sky from a distance.

Houston has a skyline the size of Los Angeles, but LA lights up its buildings a lot better.
