Put a bead of silicone between head light and trim ring, that will get rid of the whistle every time.

If you don't loosen up the stock screw at the bottom of the original ring enough, there will be a gap. If you loosen it up enough, the gap closes up to nothing.

+1 Read the instructions. I usually throw them away but HD nailed this one. Do what it says, no gap and no noise!
