Default Help - Need a new battery for my 1.8T!

So I have never had a problem with my 2003 New Beetle 1.8t battery wise, untill recently I installed some 42 Draft Design White LEDS in my cars interior and my license plate bulbs.

Now whenever I start up my car, there is a hesitation like it is not gonna turn over... then it does, barely.

It gets worse if I leave my car with out driving it for a day.

Anyway, I understand that the 42 Draft Design LEDS draw a little current when the car is off because they do not require that much power to lite. So I think I just need a new battery, cause I love the look of the LEDS!

But instead of just getting a regular battery, I really want to step it up and spend a few extra hundred to get a powerfull reliable performance battery that will last me a while.

Can you guys recommend me a new battery to get for my car please, preferably something I can get at a Schucks or something local just so that I can avoid my battery giving out on me soon. But I also willing to pay extra to have a good battery delivered to me.

Thanks in advance for any information/recommendations you can give me.
