Default what's the problem?

To start off, I was wiring my CTR citylights. I had the ground wires of the citylights hooked up to those bolts with other factory ground wires. Second, I was testing the citylights (5w) and headlights (7500K) without turning my car on. But I did it for about 2 minutes max. I also left my radar scanner plugged in all night. Now I'm not sure which one of the above caused the problem, but my car died one time when idling for a red light. I was also low on gas at the time (no light came on). Did I drain my battery from testing the headlights?

one more thing...when I was wiring my citylights I disconnected the negative cable on the battery, but I did not let my car re-learn the ECU after re-connected it. Could this be a problem?

maybe your fried your alternator..
and your car died because you have no more juice in your battery
