Default Car won't start after trying to install ijdmtoy DRL! HELP!

FIXED. Battery died with the doors open and headlights on for so long.

Check all the fuses an none are showing popped using my tester. Need help! Car just makes a clicking sound when trying to start.

I've also removed the negative on the battery for a few mins and reconnected it and nothing.

Yep, left the doors open and lights on too long.......man I feel silly. I didn't even think to check the battery as I figured I grounded or popped something. After checking every fuse and ground I tried jumping it and that solved it.

Thanks gents!

With that, I'm returning all of my HID DRL and HID Fogs. That IJDMTOY stuff has zero directions and I couldn't get them to work properly. Used the test light wire, got it to illuminate, hooked up the harness and the LED bulb wouldn't illuminate fully.

I'm not the best with electrical but not the worst either....who knows. If anyone can recommend a more plug and play DRL HID kit and fog kit let me know as I'm returning my stuff tomorrow.
