Where did you order the trailer hitch for the Spitfire?

I just got a trailer hitch (ordered) for my Spitfire.  Spitfires use the
now typical three taillight system (separate brake, turn and running) and
the trailer uses the typical American two lamp system (turn and brake
combined, separate running).  I can get a simple electronic converter or
adaptor that will combine the signals into a two lamp system, but I was
just curious about one aspect of its operation.  If one of the vehicles
lamps were burned out will the trailer lamps still operate?  The converter
would conceivably be getting a signal, just no load from the lamp does it
need this load to actually operate? Anybody have any experience here or is
familiar with the operation of these converters?  Without tearing it apart
I am not sure how these converters works -
