You can tap into the rear plate power and ground wires. That will make the light turn on and off when you turn your lights on. If you want to be able to manually turn it on and off, you'll have to buy the wiring kit and install that into the car.
Z1 offers the OEM wiring kit and the steering column controls, but that is going to be a little more complicated to install.

OP, the wire harness Z1 offers is basically two wire you tap into the liscense plate light (short harness) or the brake/signal light (long harness). I used the short harness meathod. Installing it is pretty easy with some basic tools like a socket set etc. Both kits come with the "clamp type" taps, but it kept falling loose, so I soddered the wires together. Wraped it with some heat shrink and it's worked perfectly. It comes on/off with the rest of the lights so having a separate for the light alone isn't really a big deal. Most people would likely leave it on anyways. OP, if you have some basic mechanical skills, just do it yourself and save some cash. It just two wires, very difficult to mess up.
