The torque specs are mainly so you don't stress where the threaded posts attach to the plastic tail light housings and crack them. Given that the gaskets compress, it shouldn't be a problem given they're only 1.59mm thicker. I wouldn't personally go with less torque, as it could make the difference in getting a full, consistent seal around the entire housing.
