Default Fixing Tail Light Seal

I bought a set of tailights on ebay and one of them has a leak in the seal, does anyone know of a good sealant to fix this?

That was a sweet tutorial, however I don't mean the gasket I mean the whole tail light assembly. It's kinda 2 parts, and my upper right corner is leaking.

I would go with some silicone. Make sure to get all the moisture out of the tail lamp before sealing it.

yea i was thinking about some GE sealant i have at work. its used for window and door seals so i figured it would be good to use. i plan to bake the tail lights at like 180 degress for like 10 minutes. if anyone can chime in about baking the taillights....

I did mine with some plain old clear silicone, I used a rubber clamp to hold it together well it dried, worked like a charm. The only drawback was I went a little to tight with the clamp and cracked my tail light But I just bought a new set off a CRX that had only 10,000 mi that had a front end collison, they are incredible
