Default looking for factory tow hitch wiring harness

I'm looking for the factory wiring harness for the tow hitch for the A5/S5 - can anyone help direct me. I'm in the US (Alabama).

see pic below. I'm also planning to pull a stand up jetski and need the wiring to make the lights work.

yep, I bought the one from etrailer - it did not work, and I paid $200 to the shop guys who tried to install it. I ended up calling the company who I suspect makes it for etrailer and that guy said "oh, no you need a different kit"....so I've returned the original kit to etrailer (another expense) and await their RMA response to see if i can swap the wrong kit for the right kit. Will update once I hear from them. They received it yesterday.

Confirmed - etrailer sucks.
