If they're not covering this at some point.. then I guess we have to split open our own lights and put some thicker gaskets. (there's DIY on this)
The gasket in question is not the seal between inner and outer halves of the tail light assembly. It's the gasket that seals the assembly to the body.

The housings are not sealed around the light bulb sockets. so if water gets past the main gasket, it simply drips in past the light bulb. Re-sealing the housing to the body is the key.
