either you can use the JS also add style to the Element.

document.getElementById(id).style.property = new style

Add inline style using Javascript

Or you need to load the script before the style.

If you assign a id to any tag or element you don't need to use element or tag name to style it. Directly use id. by #id li { background: red; } it means inside the element(which has id) it search for another li element. Try

#id {
  background: red;
}

I would avoid using ids as they have to be unique (no more than one per page). If you have to target specific list items use data attributes.

ul li[data-type="name"] { color: red; }
<ul>
  <li data-type="name">Bobby</li>
  <li data-type="age">26</li>
</ul
