I believe from other post that those can be leak points, I would replace the 3rd BL first and see what happens. I think you have to pull glass to replace those corners, could be wrong.

As I was trying to remove the light unit, the lens corners cracked, so I'm going to have to order a replacement immediately.
While standing in the bed, I also noticed that the two rubber seals at the roof gutters were dry rotted and not sealed !? Is this another potential leak and if so, is there a thread that discusses a repair. Thanks in advance, look forward getting this sealed up.
That is the light I just replaced mine with. Worked like a charm. Had two monsoon type rain storms since I installed it and no leaks. The LED's are very bright.

Probably because amazon's compatibility system isn't perfect.

I did RTV those plastic strips on top of the cab this Summer. Mine were deteriorated a little bit more than your pics.

I used Permatex flowable silicone on those two and ran RTV around the brake light. No issues since.
