Excessive Battery Drain

I have an 08 GZ250. I have installed a set of driving lights, installing the power supply to the fuse box for the ignition switch. I also have a rocker switch installed to power the lights off. I can ride the bike a couple of days..about 30 miles and the bike will not start. Lights are dim and starter will not turn over. Can push start and ride. Are driving lights pulling too many amps for the bike to charge the battery. Bike was purchased new in July.

Update: Because I wanted to keep a set of driving lights and a brighter head lamp I did the following. I replaced my Brake Light with an LED bulb, put a on/off switch on the driving lights and only use them during fog or night driving. I am also going to replace the turn signals with LED's. I added a small LED strip on my back fender right below the tag, and one under the gas tank. Cool Blue glow at night. Head Lamp is now the correct rating. I will post some pics under mods when I can get some good one taken.
