There isn't one.
1, Go to dealer if your still in warranty
2, Buy a used one, install it yourself
3, drill small holes for the water to exit.

Bullshit there's no DIY
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...l+light+gasket

Might want to fix it properly rather then drilling holes in your tail lights...

I could swear there was a DIY.....I distinctly remember someone posting a homemade remedy involving some store bought material they hand cut into the shape of the OEM gasket.

^ Correct. There was no recall. Just a TSB, as Jedi posted already. So if you're under warranty you're fine and they'll fix it for free. If not then you can pay to have it fixed.
