Seems to me that there is no legal need to have the Toad's license plate light on. Only the MH light is needed.
Once again, I suppose it would depend on the laws of the state where you happen to be!
I know that here in this state, the rear license plate is supposed to be lighted so as to be visible at 50 feet, even on trailers. (MCA 61-9-204(3)) However, many are not lighted. Many don't even have a license plate light!
So, it is very doubtful that one would ever get a ticket for not having the light.
On my Jeep, since the towing lights are the original equipment lights, the license plate is illuminated.
However, the "third brake light" is not installed, and that, too, is illegal!
