Mark I noticed there wasnt much response to this question, which I originally left, as I am not an auto electrical guru.
Is the problem likely to be caused by the fact that the Datto headlights always have power at the light, and are operated by earthing back through the switching mechanism? This is a problem when fitting metal backed headlights, such as Cibies. As soon as they are wired up to the standard light plugs, these earth through their body, and you cant turn them off using the switch because they are already earthed. If you don't physically disconnect the circuit this wiring arrangement will flatten the battery. This problem is fixed by insulating the back of headlight body from its holder. One method of doing this is by fitting bits of flattened rubber tubing behind the lights at the three locater points. The light then sits proud of its holder and is insulated from it. The better fix is to rewire the lights using a relay from the battery, then plug into the standard vehicle lighting circuit to switch the relays only.
