Default Headlight Gaskets

I've got a 99 Camaro. Does anyone know if you can buy just the gaskets for the headlights? My headlights look great, but the gaskets are trashed and I would like to replace them.

I would have to say probably not. They are taped to the lense, which also goes bad. Maybe get yourself some of this stuff.

They aren't faded, they are ripped.

Oh. Well, you could scour boneyards and look for a set with decent gaskets on them. I would think they don't repop just the gaskets. Headlights are a crash repair part. If it's scuffed, scraped, cracked or whatever it would just get replaced.

I'm sure hes talking about the black seal on the outside that goes around the headlight that helps fill in the body gap.

Also looking but based in the UK so not having any luck so far....this seller on eBay claims to have something that fits:

Would love a hack to replace those without having to take the whole assembly out

I had luck replacing that part on another GM car by purchasing the cheapest reproduction headlights I could find and swapping them to my good oem headlights. I haven't priced camaro headlights in a while and haven't looked at how hard it is to remove the surround gasket, but it might be an option.
