1999 sport trailer harness
Just put a receiver hitch on my son's 1999 sport. JC Whitney has this wiring harness.

I've never heard of a "converter" for trailer lights. Is there something I should know? Is this a good buy?
Thanks

"Converter" explanation taken from etrailer website:
The one on JC Whitney and Amazon both have them built-in. Now get out there and tow something. 
Tail Light Converter
A tail light converter is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. The tail light converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
