Trailer manufacturers don't typically keep a good record of the smaller parts they install at the factory like the tail light assemblies. Because of this, your best option is trying to locate a model number somewhere on the assembly itself or simply choosing a replacement with matching dimensions.

Looking at pictures of your 2008 Tracker Tahoe Boat Trailer, it appears to be equipped with oval tail lights similar to the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Lights # TLL12RK. These lights measure 7-9/16 inches long, 2-3/4 inches tall, and 1-3/4 inches deep. They include black PVC grommets for mounting. You can compare this to the dimensions on your lights to see if they will work well as replacements.

Otherwise I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of trailer tail lights that you can look through. If you are able to tell me the model number on your assemblies or their dimensions, I will be happy to recommend a replacement if the above option does not work.
