Missing orange cover on marker light; Water leakage concerns

Hi there!

Please help me figure out with these two questions:

1) When I purchased my trailer (viking saga 16sfb 2017), the orange cover on the marker light near the roof was missing (attached photo). I unscrewed the marker light to try and figure out how to replace it, but I couldn't figure it out on my own. It seems there's a connector to which it should be attached, is that correct? I wasn't able to disconnect it, even with a lot of effort. I haven't been able to find an orange cover with the same dimensions at Home Depot or similar stores. How would you recommend solving the problem of the missing orange cover?

2) After unscrewing the marker light completely, I noticed there's a hole underneath it for the wires (which makes sense). However, I'm now worried about potential water leakage due to the rubber gasket between the marker light and the trailer's body not fitting tightly, and the missing orange cover exacerbates the issue. I screwed the marker light back on as tightly as possible, but the screws don't seem to hold very securely, and I still feel like water might potentially get in. Should I seal them with some kind of sealant at the top part?

Thanks a lot for any advice!

That looks like a normal marker light. I would look at an auto parts store or one that is rv related. I know when I was in Canada and needed a light for my tow dolly I came across I believe they are call Canada Tire. That store had everything.

As for making a leak proof seal. A small bead of silicone or even plumbers putty would take care of it.
