I have super capacitor parallel with my battery, so far so good after 1.5 years. There is a voltage meter attach to my 12V ciggy thingy, voltage around 12.5 to 12.7 before start engine.

To maintain my battery, it's best to top up the battery water every 6 months.
I'm also getting a car battery charger using AC line.

I was searching around my junk and found the multimeter  I bought last time for testing computer power supply then I use to test my battery it shows 12.35v  in the morning then after I drive to work about 15 minutes drive , now it shows 12.55v already , so I gueess  my battery still healthy . The 12.35v it might be because I start and off the engine a few times  yesterday night so it lose some charge .

Base on your readings, it may actually be not working well.
Go to a battery shop and test your battery immediately.

for what I search online it say 12.35v is 75% charge and the night before I keep start and off a few times test the light how dimm it look just slightly dimmer than engine is on not too dimm  , well I will monitor a few days before I get the battery replace , or check , most of the time u go workshop check also the foreman trying to con  me , use some analog multimeter  to test , and say this say that , in case I will will keep 1 jumper  cable in my car .

Drive 15 min should be more than 13V if you measure within 10 min after you off the engine. Load meter is good to measure if your batt is fully charged. You cannot use this method since your batt is not full.

Maybe try to get a battery charger to charge your batt first. Follow by monitor the voltage before you drive in the morning.

How do you even see your rear?

Technically, it will only glare in early morning and late afternoon.
