Towing lights

I'd like to have a "standard" plug-in for towing lights. What I have in mind
is a simple utility trailer - lights only (no brakes).

I see nothing that looks like a "terminal" at the rear of the pickup
anywhere under the bumper area. I also do not believe my pickup was
equipped with a "towing package" (which I take to mean having the
bundle/terminal I now desire.)

To effect what I wanna do, is this a tall order? Or is there a poor man's
way to do it? I'd be willing to buy a "kit" at PepBoys if I knew I could
get something that would adapt.

>From years ago, I have a couple of "tail light taps" us used for a U-Haul
trailer but I'd rather not use them unless I have to. I'd rather end up w/
something "standard" - plug-n-play for a variety of simple trailers.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
