Default Best Product to Use to Reseal Tailights?

I noticed water is getting inside my lights now so I'm wondering what's the best product to use to reseal them.

for tailights...use new oem gaskets.
i was getting water in the trunk of the crx and in the tailights. i put in new oem tailight gaskets and now it doesn't leak anymore.

for other lights do what Crimson_Tide said and reseal with silicone.

I was getting water into my trunk too. I replaced the gaskets between taillight and chassis. Didint work, i was gettting water into my taillight from the sealing (in the taillight, i dont know better word) Then i used windshield glue and sealed them off. It was a messy project, but havent never leaked since.

i think windsheid glue is that black messy stuff, i wouldn't touch that unless you have to.
i did what josh said. i reused my gaskets and just put some clear silicon between the taillight and gastket and then some more between the gasket and chasis.
no leaks

I went to Wal-Mart, and got a bunch of craft foam. I siliconed like three of them on top of each other to be thick enough. Then I put a little silicone on the gasket around the edge and tightened it up. Never leaked again!
