In general the rules in every state will reguire working lights and a unobstructed plate in all situations. If for some other reason a plate is not required on the towed vehicle obviously that would not apply.
I was stopped in VA years ago while towing a vehicle on a tow dolly because my lights on the rear were not on the rear of the vehicle being towed. They were only on the fenders of the dolly and did not meet the requirements. That netted me a verbal warning and to satisfy the officer I turned the parking lights on in the vehicle being towed and went on my way. He was happy and we did not go much further in the dark that night.
Shortly after I wired a plug into the dolly wiring at the fender and used the magnetic lights at the rear of the toad thereafter.
