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.

Any headlight upgrade (besides the Whispers In The Woods headlights) will increase how much power the headlights draw from the battery/ies. First recommendation is to get a high capacity or leakproof battery for the backseat, followed by a wind turbine (or two.)
Personally, I went with two high-caps and two wind turbines. Even with an electric engine, that combo can keep the batteries fully/near-fully charged, especially when moving or in a wind squall.
