Hey Paul! The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56335 from my original answer is exactly what you need. This plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights and will provide you with a 4-way to power the lights on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL93FR.
I also see you grabbed the # 36524 for a hitch. Just a heads up, the entire thing will be visible and hanging down for less clearance at the rear. I still think the # e98866 is a better choice. This has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver is visible. It also has a 2" receiver which gives you more options for towing and other accessories if you want to use them later on. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the comments below.
