I did a search for Tail light gaskets. I know you can buy sheets of gaskets that you can cut out yourself.
I don't have my gaskets on my turn signals on the front bumper. I was thinking about using liquid gasket. Would that work, or is the adhesive too strong on that type of material.

. What I did was take a regular piece of paper (typing paper/printer paper) and cut little strips which I fit into my housing and taped all the little strips together to make a pattern to cut my new gaskets with. Lay the paper/fake gasket on your gasket material, trace with a pencil, and cut out a new gasket.



I missed the last part of this, but I could create the shape of gasket like mississippLUV did.

I did the same thing on my fronts too. Made a template with the paper & tape and then cut a gasket out of the gasket material. I guess it is still holding up fine, no problems so far.

Glad to hear your method worked well. I might go with that method instead of the liquid gasket.
