Really truly headlights ? Halogens are about 55W, so nearly 10A the pair
plus presumably sidelights and rear lights. Battery will be as good as flat
in a couple of hours, probably, and may never fully recover if left any
longer.
Just sidelights - overnight will see the battery pretty depleted. A couple
of hours won't do any great harm. Most cars have interlocks to prevent
headlights being left on with the ignition off.

Assuming full charge, 2x55W beam and 4x10W side/tail, some internal and a
60AH battery, then a little less than five hours. With just side lights
s/he should survive the night.
