Some owners have had no trouble with aftermarket wire taps, others have had similar experiences to yours. You need to decide if you are going to drive without brake lights (!!), get your mechanic to finish the job properly (if he is capable?), get someone else to try to rectify his work ($), or go back and get the OE wiring harness ($).

I think you should get the OE wiring harness, myself.

Only you can decide if your trust in your mechanic and the solution he installed is broken to the point that you want to replace the hitch as well.

I refer you to the signature line that Weasel famously uses on here: "If you think professional is expensive, just try paying for amateur"

Good luck.

Thank you so much sir, me and my mechanic who is also my personal friend, we most likely will have to get OE wiring harness i also think its the best way to go and safest. He did tell me he can wire it all together but will take too long and recommends OE wiring harness and was also pissed for me going this route at all.

Yeah i am not going to tow anything until i have everything working properly.
