Hey Keith,

You could use the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 you were looking at and connect the stop function to the third brake light and just cap off the the left and right turn signal wires on the output side since you won't be using them. You can install a diode # RM-690 between the light and converter to prevent any electrical feedback from the light.
