Tom,
You need a simple controller. I have been using a Reese Pilot for a few
years on a couple of different vehicles. $44.02 on Amazon.

If you have a vehicle with an electronic system like my BMW's, your need to
get complicated with the wiring because the electrical system sends a pulse
to the light bulbs every few seconds checking for burned out filaments. On
my 2004 X3, I had to install a brake light switch from a '71 Chevy truck on
the firewall with the arm riding on the X3's brake pedal arm. What a PITA.
On my 2000 Saab 95, I just wired it into the brake lights. On my 2010 X5,
it plugs into the "factory" trailer hitch wiring.
