If it is to run out to the tail light, the connectors from the light (assuming B&M/Schmidt etc) require 2.8mm female spade connectors. Either crimp or solder to the coaxial cable and heat shrink to insulate. 2.8mm spade connectors aren't too available at hardware stores. The connectors for the main light to the hub are 4.8mm (effectively 5mm) connectors, and it is easy enough to find 5mm female spade connectors at most hardware stores.
Best thing to do would be to contact Peter White for the right connectors. If you know the length of tail light run you need, he would be able to sell you a complete run, ready crimped and heat shrinked etc. Having struggled with crimping those connectors and going through quite a few before successful crimpage was achieved, I'd recommend going the professional route. (Although my amateur wiring handywork has held up fine over a few years).
