Found these seals/gaskets tucked into my spare tire well... I guess my paint guys didn't remember where they pulled them from. I'm pretty sure they go against the front fenders to the outside of the headlights, but I'm not sure exactly how they install. Anyone have pics or some specifics about how they go in and which one is left vs right?

Yes, they get tuck into the front of the headlight bucket. I'll see if I can find some pictures on how they are oriented. They do in easier if you get them wet before sliding them in...

Yeah, those are the fender-to-bumper seals. They tuck into the gap between the front fender and the front bumper, right next to the headlights. The fat, rounded end faces up and forward. They just press into the metal channel on the fender's edge. The one with the notch cut out of it is for the driver's side.

Fantastic, thanks both of you for the quick answers!
