The short answer is "something bad." The first thing I'd try is tightening the bulb - a loose fit might spark a little, and sparks make all kinds of weird sounds (howling, zapping, and any bizzare combination of the two, so I wouldn't rule out that being the cause of whistling). If it keeps up, you might want to try a new light bulb, since the current one seems to be defective. And if that doesn't fix it, it's something wrong with your light fixture. If it's something small, you might be able to get help at a hardware store; large or permenant fixtures are more difficult - I can only suggest calling an electrician, though considering the expense, that's a last resort option.

Because if you touch it, you may get dirt or oils from your skin on the bulb. Since halogen bulbs operate at a much higher temperature than conventional bulbs, the contaminants may cause the bulb to break. If you do touch the bulb, clean it with an alcohol swab before installing it.

How do you replace the headlights on a 1998 dodge stratus?
There are two hex/star screws above the headlight casing that need to be removed first. Then you slide out the headlight casing to expose the backside, there you will find the a medium sized slipnut around the Halogen bulb. Turn counter clock wise to release and pull back gently allowing the halogen bulb to come free of the headlight casing. Unplug the Halogen bulb (a flatheaded screw driver my be needed to pry the locking clasp) To install the new Halogen bulb reverse the above steps be very careful to NOT touch the Halogen Bulb itself. The oils on your skin can cause the bulb to blow out sooner when power is given to the bulb. Tighten everything back up and you are done...
