So how did you get water in the tail lights?

I have not heard this before, but since I have never experienced water weight gain, I have never had to search for it.

For anyone reading this the gasket parts numbers are:

Passenger (or RH side as labeled) = F151-51-153D
Driver (or LH side as labeled) = F151-51-163D

My local Mazda dealer charged me freaking $52.05/each after tax. You can find them online for about $35/each + $10+- for shipping. So slightly cheaper.

didn't use a gasket - just good ole silicone ..... Works fine
after having the light out I can't see how the gasket would work as the lights are a sealed unit ?????
