Default electrical for trailer hitch

Does anyone have suggestions on wiring for a trailer hitch for a 987 Boxster?

I've got a Willwood hitch which I will be installing in a few days but I don't know where to get the electrical feeds from the car for the trailer..

Are there extra wires lying around somewhere for this purpose? Or do I tap off the brakes, blinkers and lights, or what?

TIA,

Fred

I followed the instructions in this article. http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/caym...den-hitch.html
You need the isolated type of wiring kit that has its own power feeds so the car doesn't think the bulbs are out. Then you still need to tap each light for the signal.
