Could this be a relay or something. When they are unplugged the battery fina at tickover but when I plug them back in it drains the battery quite fast at tickover. If its revving its fine.

I know people have said dodgy R/R but I have tried a couple of them now and its the same.

You have a generating system failure - if not the R/R, probably the stator.

Simplest test for stator - unplug it and leave ignition/engine off.
Measure resistance from any of the three pins to any engine ground point:
if short, your stator is toast.

What is your charging voltage at idle?

Condition of your battery?

Not the volts, but the CCA. New they are in the 180 ball park. It can show 12+ volts but with no amps behind it, it won't do anything and the lights will drain the battery very quickly.

Definitely a generating system problem.
