a different FB tail light question

I'm looking for new seals, checked mazdatrix, black dragon, and rockauto. I want the seals that seal the body and the other ones that go around the outside of the brake light. I can live without getting the surrounding seal, but I really need new seals for the light to the body.

personally I am going to try some very thin, like 1/8 inch weather stripping that i got a Home Depot, and put it around the back where the old seal was. I have also read where some people are using silicone sealer.

You know, if I didnt find a new gasket, that was the route I was going to go. Not really any other options on it

I have looked for the solution to this as well and though I haven't tried it its possible that material from this company may do the trick:

LP 17-C or LP 102-C look promising

LP-102 looks like it would be too wide, but the other definitely looks promising.
