Trailer wiring harness # 118521 is rated for 4.2 amps per side for brake lights and turn signals and 7.5 amps total for running lights. Since your trailer has exterior lights you will need to determine the amperage draw of all the lights on the running light circuit. The amperage draw should be on the lights somewhere.
If the amperage draw exceeds the capacity of the harness I recommend switching everything over to LED lights. LEDs use a fraction of the power that incandescents use. They also can be brighter and will last longer than regular incandescent lights.
Wiring harness # 118521 is a direct connection for a 2012 Honda Odyssey. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
