replacing the Rubber linning around the headlights

Does anyone know, where or what options we have .
I am trying to replace the rubber lining around the headlights that insulates and dampens/seals the space between the headlights and the car body.

Tried buying from dealer but They say the ONLY way they wud sell it, is with the whole headlight housing...............

Damn, that def sounds like a tricky process. I think they were right about having to buy a entire housing. Never heard of this before...

Did you completely lose yours or do you still have them? You may be able to glue them back on. Other then that I dont know where you can get replacements.

Yeah it's not a separate part. It's part of the headlight housing. Not a sell-able part.
One of mine came loose I used some trim adhesive to glue it back. Has held up well for years.
You should be able to find a rubber car door seal in some auto store & trim & fit it around the light.
