Default LED light bar flashes on engine start

Hey folks. I'm just looking for some ideas on why my passenger side LED strip on the headlight flashes once on engine start. The car is a 2008 with the 2013-14 headlights. I did not put them in. I believe Sewell did it for the previous owner. Thanks in advance for the help.

Not too long ago I had a similar issue with my low beam and LED strip being out. Turns out it was due to moisture inside the housing that caused the circuit to short. I left a couple silica gel packs inside the high beam dust cover for a few days when I wasn't driving to absorb the moisture and have not had the problem since.

Mine does the same thing, doubt its moisture related but prob just something with the loaded headlights. Didn't notice it until recently when I parked in front of a glass window when starting my car up.

I figure it's something to do with compatibility issues. I know I can't have the ALS with these lights installed. I'll just chalk it up to that. Thanks for the input.
