    I recently bought retrofits built by Classy's Retrofits, I was wondering if I should worry about the buzzing issue with running the DRLs in my 05 GP

    buzzing from the balists? No, just the electronics doing their jobs.

    I was told they would buzz and flicker and throw a charging system failure alert if I didn't either put tape over the auto headlight sensor or manually turn off my DRLs

    You should have installed using a relay harness to get around that.

    I have not installed yet, the seller said the issue had occurred on his 06 but my 05 may be different in that the PCM doesn't control the voltage on 04-05 ?

    He said it comes with a trs relay harness so I'm assuming that's all I should need?
