"As you are now, we once were; as we are now, you may become."
That phrase from War of the Gods seems to indicate that the Light Beings were of humanoid form, at one time, and have evolved to their current status.
Another possibility is that they represent 'angels' who are representatives of a supreme being, i.e., God, and their existence may be an indication of some type of after-life.
Did they help the Colonists find Earth? Indirectly. Apparently, they provided Starbuck, Sheba, and Apollo with confirmation that Earth existed and a general course heading.

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore .
Children are a message that we send
to a time that we will never see.
