Recently purchased the Dewalt 20 volt 1/2 in
Impact with a second drill 1/4 inch drive combo

I purchased the 3 piece adapter for
sockets. For the impact drill. With this quick release system
Is there a universal kit. That lets me use
Drill bits an other attachments

Any links to what works best.

Question 2
Harbor freights adapter for the quick release socket
1/8. 1/4. 1/2 inch uses a 1/4 inch fitting that adapts
to the drill. Would have thought to use this set up on
a tire lug is a little lacking? Sorry the explanation is
lacking

An impact driver like you bought and an impact wrench are entirely different things.

What exactly are the tools in question—hammer drill, impact driver, or impact wrench? They're quite different in what they do. It sounds like a hammer drill and an (impact?) driver maybe. A hammer drill has a standard drill chuck, with adjustable jaws; an impact driver has a locking hex chuck for driver bits (that can't be adjusted for size); and an impact wrench has a square socket driver, usually 1/2".

Neither a hammer drill nor an impact driver is likely to do very well at breaking lug nuts free. Either one probably could spin them off once loosened a bit, but the impact/hammer part is not really all that useful there.

The HF hex driver bit to square drive socket adapters are not terrible, but I don't know that they'd hold up to sever usage. Certainly for spinning the nuts on and off they work just fine.
