Default tail light seal

tail lights on 89 mustang have seals that sit between the tail light housing and the body of the car. They are three individual seals that look like weatherstripping, but i'm not sure so if anybody knows please respond. thanks

so you need the lens or seals or both? if its just the lens you can swap it and keep the fixture. If you need the seals im sure you could find some on a used car at a junkyard or you may be able to find em at a dealership never checked into it. If you need both just get new taillights all together.

i just need the seals that go between the body and the tail light, one goes around the brake light its oval shape, one goes around the turn signal light, and the other is around the reverse light. heres a picture. these are what my old tail lights look like, but now i am getting 1986 gt tail lights cause i like the way they look. but the ones i am getting need new seals cause they are flattened.

Im not sure if you can buy them or not but I would call up 50resto.com or yearone.com and see if they have them. If not, try a junkyard.
