Fried egg style headlight gasket

The gaskets at the rear edge of my headlights (where the lens edge mates to the wing) is showing early signs of turning into a formless goo.
I stripped it off carefully and although there are Bosch makers marks and a Porsche part number it turns out that this item is not available as a stand alone part.
Very disappointing as the parts are clearly detachable and a little research shows that this has been quite a common failure over a significant number of years.
Has anyone found a source, other than buying a complete lamp unit?
I did contact Bosch directly but they can't supply it as a part either.
 
Not sure about the actual gasket but one option is to buy some thin rubber sheet and cut your own with a craft night and board using the original as a template. You should be able to do a reasonable job if you take your time.
