Try to put some tape around the inside.

Did you leave the stock ring on underneath the new one?

That is true.
Mine fit bad with the OEM light but fits perfect with the Trucklite I installed.

In that case you could probably put something on the inside of it like a dbl sided tape in a few spots to keep it tight? Just a thought.

Use some weather stripping.

Remove the stock trim ring and put 1/2" * 1/4" weatherstripping on. Tighten up new trim ring, fits good. I can't believe HD sells this trim ring and expects it to fit properly. The trim ring itself looks very good (both styles) but the fitment is terrible. One of HD's weaker efforts.

I got one for Christmas and haven't installed it yet. Glad I read this though for all the input. Have a friend that has one and I think it looks great. His does slip a little so i will tell him about the tape or weatherstripping.

It still looks great. Just shitty fit issues. Like a few others stated you will be the only one that knows about the small gaps.
