Hi goats,
No rubber seal.
Run a bead of butyl mastic on the body first and then fit the taillight housing onto the body. This will force the mastic out. Clean up with wax and grease remover and a rag. If you find 'gaps' in the mastic once the taillight is fitted you may have to run another bead of mastic around and clean up again. You want it nice and sealed and also looking neat.
Buy it from bunnings

You can just make out the black buyl mastic in some pics on this page
