b) try to make your own gasket out of weather stripping commonly found at home improvement stores

or

c) run a bead of silicone around the gasket and call it a day.

A is probably too hard to do to make it worth the time, B probably wouldn't be that easy either since you'll have a seam to deal with that could leak. so C it is. i know RTV seams like a bubble gum and duct tape cure on your $40K truck, but it's better than having a leak.
Dont forget the small rubber rings that fit on the screws that hold the 3rd brake lite in place When i bought my hella tail and brake lite kit the rubber washers were included with the brake lite
