Can interior car lights drain battery?

If you accidentally leave your interior car lights on for an extended period, it can definitely drain your car battery. Most cars are equipped with automatic controls to turn off the interior lights after a certain amount of time to prevent this issue. However, older vehicles might not have this feature and may require you to manually switch off the lights when not in use. It may not seem like much power consumption at first, but every bit counts when it comes to draining the battery. Additionally, if you have aftermarket or custom lighting that is wired incorrectly, it could cause a significant drain on your battery even when the vehicle is turned off. Therefore, it's always better to double-check before leaving the car that all interior lights are turned off and check any additions done by yourself or others regarding additional lighting features in your car.
