Front markers - do they use a gasket?

Putting the L and R front side marker lights into my 1991 Trans Am. (Pic below). My markers don't have any gaskets around them, but I don't seem to have any, and I don't see them in the resto catalogs.

Did these markers install with no gaskets?


On a related note, I also need a clip to hold the marker light in. I attached a pic of the clip below. Anybody got an extra one?

No gasket. Just the spring clips is all you'll need.

Thanks. I put them in as-is and they look fine. I guess the water just runs around and out the bottom.

If you can't find any spring clips, just use a nail and stick it thou the holes. One of my spring clips broke two years ago, i put a nail thru the holes, the nail or lights haven't moved since. Lol
