Does anybody have an new old stock of the grey gasket material that goes between the tail lamp housing and the body? (I am aware that W&N has the material, but it is in black). I'd like to buy a set in grey, about 60 inches in length.
Thanks for checking,
Paul Cain

i see you need the one for the bulb holder. Cant one ‘color’ the black one grey?

 
One of our members IIRC located a perfect replacement but it is a dark gray.
 
Paul, they weren't where i expected them to be - either with the rear fixtures or with electrical things - gotta dive into the rubber boxes
 
I bought some from McMaster-Carr on the recommendation of some forum members, including two posts from @rsporsche here and here. It is black and not gray though.

My plan is to paint both the taillight holders and the gasket with an appropriate color of SEM gray, although I haven't gotten around to it yet. Something to keep in your back pocket in case you strike out on finding gray.

Here's the McMaster part no: 8507K43
 
I have the stuff from Scott, why bother to color it, really cannot see it?
good question. my reply: because I would know it was there and it wasn't how it looked from BMW. :) I do think the idea of spraying the black material grey has strong merit. I might pick up a can of Grey vinyl paint and try that. Thanks for chiming in!
 
Paul,

i don't have the gray gaskets for the light cover. i have the gray / white gaskets for the outer lens. i have the black ones for the light covers. i was going to use the SEM storm gray color coat on them. sorry for the delay in trying to find them.
