FYI, I think this experience will teach me NOT to purchase an item I really don't know about.

You have everything for control except the motor driver board. You can get a basic DCDR for $40, or you can go Cruise M for $64 I think. If this is for conventional only, and your not worried about cruise. The DCDR is the way to go. Works well with the can motors.
The bigger picture is testing this to make sure it all works. I can do that for you, identify your wiring, and sell a DCDR at discount if you want. Even splice wires and such to complete this if needed.
I am sure you want the directional lighting too. G
