They aim to get her into the bright lights (7)
I believe the answer is:
archers
'the bright lights' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'they aim to get her' is the wordplay.
'they aim' becomes 'arcs' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'arcs' placed around 'her' is 'ARCHERS'.
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archers that I've seen before include "Experts with bows and arrows" , "Toxophilites" , "Agincourt soldiers?" , "Old combatants" , "old soldiers?" .)
