Sled start hid lights problem

[dylanjen9]

Lights work when first started but when switched from high to low one goes out until sled is shut off then started again. Both lights stay on if the high low beam is not switched. What part is going bad?

If you have the newer system that does not hook to the battery then I would say its the patch cables.
Had this issue when I did the upgrade to mine. The upgrade was to eliminate the connection to the battery via the new patch cables.
Worked the first time the sled fired up but a few hi/low switching caused one then both lights to turn off. Turning the sled on again would turn the lights back on.
I reverted back to the old way with the relay and battery connection to solve the issue. I would have needed to purchase new updated ballasts to go with the updated patch cables.

Had the same issue on an 08 Apex, had original direct to battery harness set up. Went to patch cable set up and had the issue you describe, I eventually got new ballasts to make it work properly. As I recall Sled Start stood behind this, worth a call to find out.
