What you will need to use is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness With the Install Kit # 119250KIT. This will allow you to change the 3 wire system from your tow vehicle to the 2 wire system that your trailer uses.
You will need to run the included black wire up to your battery to power the converter. The great thing about this is that the lights on your trailer will have a more direct connection to your vehicle's battery which will result in the lights being a little brighter than other options that draw off of the tail lights of your tow vehicle. This will also prevent any feedback problems from your trailer to your tow vehicle.
