You either have a charging problem, or something is draining the battery. (or you are leaving something on, like an interior light)

1) Did you do ANYTHING to the car around the time the problem started?

2) Do you have any aftremarket electrical accessories? (in addition to the lights)

3) do you have anything plugged into any of the the outlets?

1. i have nothing around the car that i know

2. all i have is hid lights , changed speakers, and dealer install remote start alarm... that it .

3.i have nothing plugged in all the outlets and all the lights are off.

thats it everything is else is honda .. i think that it could be a short somewhere in the whole electrical system

because i have no clue ??????????

I'm suspecting a fault in the alternator which is shorting out- and draining the battery. Next time you park it up for a few days, disconnect the battery. Alternatively get one of those battery maintenance chargers from sears or somewhere else, and use that when you park the car up. I had to do that for a time on my truck due to similar problems to yours- it took a while before the alt died completely before that it was a puzzle.
