Hi

Dont know if Mastic is a Uk thing. Basicaly its the clear silicon you
put around your shower base or around your bath to seal it were the
tiles meet either the shower or bath to stop water entering down
behind. Should imagine it would be readily available from and DIY or
Hardware store. Just unbolt complete light units and remove from Car.
Could possibly be 10mm bolts but dont quote me on that.

We have a mastic for roofing, but caulk for tubs!

(though they are similar in consistency - I can see where mastic may be
a better term as 'caulk' - historically, was rope fiber plus tar I think?)

That gooey ropey stuff is also called oakum. I just (today) had a
well-meaning but clueless stuporvisor tell me to use it to seal a wet
conduit with waveguide in it. I used latex-based spray foam instead,
mych better.
