Default taillight seals

I saw someone advertising seals for the taillights on the C5's, that had a self stick rubber or foam seal. Anyone know where to get.

You can buy a carton of weatherstriping at Lowes that will do the tail lights on 2 C5's for $16. It's a no-brainer!! Don't fall for the "Corvette Tail light seals". Save your $$.

I could never find the right profile at Lowes, so I bit the bullet and found mine on E-bay. About $20

I thought that the Lowes/Home Depot product looked like "weather stripping". The Southern Car Parts seals look like factory seals and like they should have been original equipment. I went with the more expensive option (really less than 6 gallons of gas) and am very happy with them. No drips and they look great.
