Car won't start after new LED install.
Hello y'all
I installed some new front side markers on my 06 AT last night. I wanted to change the look and put some clear ones on. The lights came with some LED replacement bulbs that I also installed. Well they worked fine but then this morning when I go to start the car it wont crank. Lights come on, then fade a lil, but I can tell there is not enough juice coming from the battery because of the noise.
So my question is, would it be possible that these lil LEDs are the culprit? They look pretty cheap and were free with the clear side markers.
Also, if it is just my battery, would it be covered under warranty? Car has 43k.
Thanks for any input!

Our cars have auto lights so I don't think leaving the lights on would cause that. I think he was just turning it on/off while installing and it drained the battery. Just get a boost and you'll be ok.
Auto lights shut off at 30 second and 5 minute intervals depending on what position the light swith is set too. Every time you turn off/on, it resets the timer
pics plz

The car doesn't have the automatic lights off feature. The lights were off because when I got in the vehicle I checked the lights. When I was installing the lights I left them on for no more than 7 minutes.
Is that enough time to drain the battery? I don't believe it is. I have noticed that when starting the vehicle in the past few weeks its takes it a bit longer to start up. I have to have the key turned for a few seconds for the car to start. It does stutter though.
Maybe time for a new batter? Could more cranking amps help my start response time?
Thanks once again

I'm in Texas so we have Autozones here. Do you know if I jump the car and drive it there, could they test the battery while it is in the vehicle? Or do I have to remove it and take just the battery to them?
Also, I bought the car at Carmax less than a month ago, im wondering if they would replace the battery since its under warranty with them or if battery is considered normal maintenance.
