Lance recommends ProFlex sealant and that is what I recently used after replacing the tungsten lamps on the camper's running lights. I box cutter blade can be used to sever the old sealant enough to pry off the plastic covers.
For cleanup and removal of ProFlex and Dicor the best product I have found (and it is sold by Home Depot) is Kleen Strip Industrial Maintenance Coating Thinner. It works great and seems to have been designed specifically for use with these types of products.
I use the old trick of smoothing the new sealant bead with an ice cube.
If you do replace the tungsten lamps with the T10 LED ones it is important to have power to the sockets so you can verify that the lamps light up. If the do not light, then pull the LED lamp and rotate it 180 degrees and insert it again. There is a polarity aspect and at least with the Lance campers both of the wires are white so no way to know which is positive or negative.
