If your talking about the intermediate tail lights (50/50 lenses, Aus & Italy only). You can make a seal. They're not like the later seals that
have lots of contact area with the guard. They only had contact where the lip of the housing touches the gaurd. You can use a U shaped rubber where
the bottom of the profile is flat. You slip it over the edge of the housing all the way around then bolt housing to guard. The originals looked
circular before fitting, there is probably no need to join the ends of the home made ones as even the factory ones trapped moisture under the
housings, so you would probably be better off leaving a small gap between the ends at the bottom of housing to allow for drainage.
Should find the right profile rubber at Clark rubber or places like them.
Regards,
Matt.

no probs guys they have a set on them but are cracking apart as they shrink when i take them off,but a bit of hot water allows enough elasticity to
get them back on in 1 piece albeit with a few cracks
