If you want lean muscles, it's the reps that matter - light weight, high reps. Heavy weights put on the big lumpy muscles (think Arnie).
Diet is important, yes. Bodybuilders eat a diet heavy on protein (eggs, meat, etc) then starve themselves before a competition. If you're going for the lean look, it's just the usual though - low fat, fairly low carb. But don't forget, if you are working out regularly, you MUST eat - don't starve yourself.

You don't get lean muscles - you get a lean body through low body fat. If low body fat is most important to you, diet is 95% of it. If you want a better musculature then weights become slightly more important - but I wouldn't bother with high reps. Low reps heavy weight with some cardio sessions and a slight cal deficit will get you the body you want.
