Default Vette lights LED's drained my battery?
Just finished installing LED headlights and fogs from vettelights.com, now battery is totally dead. I have LED's in all of my other cars, never experienced this issue. Guess I'll put the halogens back in? 😕

That would be the only option if you do not have a DMM, can follow wiring diagrams, and know how to troubleshoot.

Why not contact vettelights.com/manufacturer for their input on the issue. JMHO.

It's going to take more than that unless your halogens have an integrated battery charger.

I did earlier, just waiting on their response. Jumped the battery, just not using the lights again yet
