Default Car battery problems, I think. HELP..

Hey guys need a little help.. I could be wrong but ever since I installed my LED taillights
my car battery cant seem to hold a good charge
I just replaced my battery in april. Could it be the battery or are the tails causing this?
Ive had these tails before but never had this problem.
Anyone else having this issue? Any tips?

btw they are the ebay LED taillights..


thank you,
toHn

If you suspect the tails, then swap back in the OEMs and see if the problems goes away.

The dealership tested it?

If your cluster dials don't sweep on car start, it's also another indicator.

Go to your local auto parts like Auto Zone or Orielly and ask for alternator test. To see what happen? Or have them test your battery
