Good idea. I'm going to order a sheet of 1/4" thick neoprene foam and do exactly that after I cut the templates out. I might cut 2 sets out so I can also test the stock tail light housings with the thicker sealed gaskets.

By the way, when removing the tail light housings, the 4 nuts holding it on are 8mm (5/16" works too). Another thread said it was 10mm. A 8mm deep socket or ratcheting wrench are easiest.

I'll document all these steps incase it works well, then I can use it for a DIY.
