Tail lights gasket

I'm switching my 2017+ tail lights to custom older models.
I heard that these ones may suffer from condensation, dued to thin gaskets. May I just use the 2017+ models or do I need something dedicated? Thanks

Yep. They are thin, become brittle and leak.
Gasket Ninja make upgrades. I used weather strip which was about 4 times the thickness, and glued it on with some trim adhesive. Has worked well so far. Only a recent hi on so couldn't comment on longevity.
