I solved it with snow man snot over the top of the black plastic housing and body of the car to channel water away from getting under the housing and into the gaskets. Methinks the snot will also work on stock tails with no sealer as no water gets to the gaskets.
A permanent fix.

Diverting the water flow is also a good idea. I can't comment on the quality of the Crystal tail lights gasket/seal as I haven't seen it. It's actually sealed on arrival? You didn't have to add any sealant yourself? The factory tails are also "sealed", but it's the equivalent of scotch tape and only on the top, so I inherently don't trust it.
Do you have a link for this "snot", as I've been unable to find it locally.
I think it's worth researching and testing - maybe even developing a more elegant version (small plastic piece that diverts the water instead of a wall of goo). I'd certainly be inclined to buy a set of plastic diverters if they existed, just as an extra precaution.
