The car runs fine in day time, starts first time runs smooth. But since last night the battery was draining when I tried to use the lights. Day time driving is fine once the battery recharges some what, but I can't go out at tnight. Any thoughts?

Check the charging system if the alternator is producing output and the battery is taking it. If so do a parastic drain
