pull the terminals off the battery, clean, and lube them up. should help some, especially since you added lights could be a less than ideal contact area.

Thanks. All great ideas. I will get the battery and remote system checked by the dealer. I believe I have a recall to get done anyway. If anything comes back it should all be covered under warranty. I will post any findings. I also noticed headlights fluctuating in intensity when sitting at a red light. No other lighting or drain at the same time. Just thought it was odd or possibly relevant. Never noticed before.
Thanks again. This is an awesome place to learn.
