It was fireworks?

Is it correct to say " when I approached the light I (discovered?) it was only fireworks"; or should I say "they were fireworks" or "it was a firework"?

Since you're talking of the light, it's ok to use "it". "When I approached the light, I realized/found out it was only fireworks/a firework"

I think "fireworks" is better here -- fireworks are very rarely referred to in the singular.

Perfect. I wouldn't change anything.
