Default Hitch Wiring

I got a Hitch installed some time ago but didn't put in the electrical wiring for towing larger items.

In a few months I need to move a car about 400 miles and I assume that I need brake lights etc. on the trailer?

So I was wondering if I should try to get a "standard" connector for trailers, I really don't know what they are, or just have U haul mess around with my wiring.

Any thoughts as to how hard it would be to install a connector in a permanent manner, I do have a lot of skills in electronics, just not found out if there's something already ready to hook up to etc

All advice is gratefully accepted

Why not just buy the Nissan wiring harness? Probably a little costly, but you know it would work correctly.

I had terrible luck with the plug and play unit from Curt. After blowing out the running light circuit on 3 of them with my 07 Murano and doing warranty replacements I gave up and got the OEM Nissan one. 3 years with it and still working perfect, towing boats in the summer and sleds in the winter.

The Curt unit on my other vehicle is still going strong 3 years later, so I think it's just a design flaw on the specific one for the Murano.
