Actaully that is not totally true.  There is no need
for a gasket between the light and the body because
that is a sealed unit.  The only opening is where the
light socket attaches.  You will notice there is a
seal there.

If that seal is intact, then your lense is cracked
somewhere and allowing water to enter.  Find the crack
and fill it with a sealant or get another lense.
