XF 1.5 Toggling CSS elements through user fields?

Hi! I read through this guide (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/using-custom-user-fields-to-customise-the-layout.4015/) and was wondering how I would go about using this to toggle CSS elements, or if it's even possible.

For example, how would I go about using this to do something like this:
User field: Add shadow to usernames
Normal username view: http://i.imgur.com/aG4i49V.png
Username view after the user field is checked to use shadows: http://i.imgur.com/AKQC1dq.png

Would that require custom development, or could I do it through the method in the guide?

Thanks for your time! Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I'll try to explain it better.

I've gathered that, to do this, I'll need to use:
<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.glow}">CSS for the glows</xen:if>

But I can't figure out which template I need to place this in, or what the proper way to correlate the usergroups to the new styling (if this option is enabled) is.

I messed around with username_styles.css but couldn't get it working. Can anyone help with this, please?

Try with PAGE_CONTAINER template and add:
<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.glow}"><style>CSS for the glows</style></xen:if>
or create a new css template and add in PAGE_CONTAINER:
<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.glow}"><xen:require css="template_with_the_CSS_for_the_glows.css" /></xen:if>

The first suggestion worked! Thank you so much. :)
