During the day? Guessing your autolights are turning on and off.

Default drains

well that depends on the setup you have, do you have any subs in it, or additional lighting things which could cause a higher draw at times? In a dimming light situation here are the basics to check;
1) battery condition, is it holding a charge
2) alternator output (with the battery in the trunk and that piddly little charge wire it hurts the electrical performance of the car a bit)
3) Are all connections tight and clean at the battery and ground.
