Need a waterproof "docking light" with switch

The "docking light" that's on the driver's side front of mytrailer no longer works. It's an oval LED unit with a cheap rocker switch on the bottom.

Pulled the cover off one day and the inside is soaked from rainwater. I bypassed the switch and the light works fine. Cant find a small replacement I can waterproof so am considering replacing with a similar waterproof light assy that has a waterproof switch incorporated in it.

Anyone know of such a unit, perhaps because you had the same issue as I?

Plan B will be to remove the light, clean and dry, then install lens with a waterproofing sealer. Also remove/bypass switch and fill opening with sealer. To control light just install regular surface mount switch inside compartment door right behind.

Hoping there might be a better, waterproof, switched light so I don't need a key when i want light.

Other options are welcomed.
