The guide lights on the the belly of the tanker are, as you guessed it, designed to guide you to the optimal position for refueling; the left column of lights are your vertical positioning lights (how far forward or back you are to the boom) and the right column of lights are your horizontal positioning lights (how far to the right or left you are from the boom)

The vertical position is shown on the right on the left it's showing if you are to high or too low

one more tip for you guys, try to set the joystick's sensitivity to 0.60 or 0.80 to ensure that you only do minor change to your aircraft while matching up with the tanker

Another trick is to keep in mind that the refueling boom describes an arc from the back of the tanker. By changing your altitude relative to the tanker, you also change your relative distance from the tip of the boom as it swings up and down to match your new altitude. You can use this to help keep the hose at optimal length in the second or so lag between throttle input and engines spooling up or down.

I find it helps to make small circles with both controllers to stay centered on the boom. The throttle just rolls slightly up and down, just enough to take up the slack in the boom.

The lights are also used for when you have a aircraft that has the refuelling boom go behind the pilot meaning they can not see where it is, this makes the lights very necessary with lining up and is there only way of lining up

Tried another rollercoaster refuel ride just now. Even without talking, it is hard to control pitch, roll and speed at the same time :-) Am constantly getting into pilot induced oscillations (PIO) once I get near the tanker. Will try to use the autopilot for speed next time round, hope that helps. With the F-24 the refuel probe is behind the cockpit, so you have to use the positioning lights for relative altitude and distance. Thanks for your video's will keep trying to do it once without disconnecting.
