You will have to make them yourself.

Go to any auto parts store and get some bulk gasket material.

How about gaskets for '93 Excella?

We do not stock any tail light gaskets.

When I removed mine, they were set in a bed of what looked like gray, non-hardening "glazing putty" (don't know the technical term). The putty was still "workable"/soft and it seemed to have been effective. I don't know if it was original or a fix from some point in its history. I'd be interested to know what others have found and/or ended up using.
Thanks, MarkR

I've gotten the squarish "Monarch" lens gaskets from Out of Doors Mart.
Andy said to try an auto parts store. Find a store like Napa or mom/pops shop. These stores typically have a parts counter guys who may know something - not just parts counter monkey like you find at chain stores.
I would look for some gasket material that would be pliable, rubbery feeling etc....water pump gasket material. Get a sharp pen, razor knife, cutting board and a dose of patience - start tracing and trimming to fit.

My gaskets around my lights did not have anything around them as caulk---just gasket material. I found gasket material at O'Reilley's that can be cut to fit.

We have only had our Airsteam a few months. I am going to replace the gaskets and some bulbs and see how it goes. I am hoping there are no leaks around these lights to make them burn out.

Would like to do a conversion on the lights to LED for safety while traveling. I will make sure no leaks and will start the conversion during tax season (when we can't travel).
