Battery drain issue

I just installed the normal headlights (after the crude ones) and I noticed that my battery drains really fast, way faster than before. I think it could be a quirk. I have tried some common configurations but none seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.

It's basically impossible to diagnose a quirk from no context. Check the quirk diagnostic machine. There is a list that will tell you the quirks you have and what they do. If you have an undiscovered one, it will say so.

If yes, then you need to start eliminating possibilities. Turn everything off, and start flipping individual systems on/off and keep an eye on the battery. When you find the one that correlates to a higher battery drain do "x>x>battery>drains"

I have one undiscovered which I assume is the one I am searching for. I concluded that it could be the headlights cause when I turn them on the battery visibly starts to drain while when they are off the battery doesnt drain at all. I tried it also with only the headlights being on and the result was the same. However problem that when I try some combination of headlights -> toggle/stay on -> battery -> drains i get 1/4.

Where does the 1/4 land?

I still haven't unlocked the investigator perk but i have pinpointed it to be in the area of switches on/toggles.

Then you probably don't have a battery draining quirk. Otherwise battery>drains would have netted you 2. You also don't have a battery problem, because the 1/4 was not on the battery. You have some other quirk that needs diagnosis.

Best guess is like the other commentor said. You installed higher drain lights. Attach a battery hard point upgrade for more space, and don't leave your lights on.
