wiring a XJ hitch
 
I've got a 88 XJ and I'm wiring a hitch. Do I Need a converter since
the tail lights and brake lights are operated with 2 different wires??

The determing factor is if the Trun Signals and the Brake Lights use the
SAME bulb. If they do, then you do not need a converter, if they each use
their own bulb, then you will need the converter.

Another way to tell is if they have a converter at the store that fits your
vehicle, then you will be needing to buy one.

OUCH! Those are expensive.

I can get a flat 4-pin for a Wrangler/CJ for about $5.00, AND that includes
both sides of the connector and several feet of wire.

PS
That link does not clear up the OP's question because several of the high
priced units they list have the converter built in. All that link shows is
that one can get a trailer harness that is easy to connect.
