Why would Using your Headlights Drain the Battery?
If your electrical system is working as it should, using your headlights will not drain the battery. Of course that is assuming your engine is running. More than likely your alternator is not putting out enough voltage to keep the battery charged with the headlights on. Take your car to a trusted mechanic or auto parts store and have your charging system checked. You may need a new alternator. A loose drive belt can also cause this so make sure the belt is in good working order and adjusted correctly.
