Is Caulking Required for Optronics Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light w/ Reflector

Question

Question:

Ive purchased new lights from you folks to replace the ones currently on our RV and my question is will I need to caulk around them after I install them - or will the rubber backing take care of the water running into the plug/light hole?

The Optronics Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light w/ Reflector # MC48RB and # MC48AB will work just fine without you caulking around it but if you want to just for some extra protection it wouldn't hurt anything.
