The led cannot draw a car battery down that fast, you probably wired a relay wrong and it is energized all the time. Doule check all the relays first.

I would bet they wired up the starter kill incorrectly. It should only be energized when the alarm is armed AND you are turning the key. That would be the first thing to look for.
