If you have these lights, it's probably the best idea to just purchase and use a battery tender or other charger attached to keep your battery fresh if you plan to let the car sit unstarted for more than a week. It seems most people here with the draining issue have the problem at about 1.5-2 weeks of the car sitting, as I did as well.

The manufacturer evidentally stated that the lights draw a small amount of power when the car is off, and it will happen to every owner of these taillights if installed how their directions state. Some people don't have the issue, but they may not let the car sit long enough for the problem to occur.

Also, it doesn't seem to make a difference at all whether or not show mode is installed on a switch. The battery drain still occurs regardless.
