There are multiple options on getting those rear lights requirements met:
Connect to existing lights/harness.
Magnetic lights
Install dedicated bulbs in the existing rear light housings.
The Toad will get dirty, both inside the engine compartment and the front hood and fenders.
Rocks can get kicked up by the MH which may damage the front of the Toad or its windshield IF you have incorrect/insufficient mud flaps. Some people still use additional Toad guards like Protect-A-Tow.

This going to be harder than I thought; not to mention costly. I am at about $2,400 parts, no idea on labor yet. I have $300 added for new hitch.
Here is the tow bar

With Roadmaster brand I guess it is what you get. Roadmaster is a lot cheaper than Blue Ox
I think the Tow bar connects to existing round 7 pin connector and will have the lights needed controlled through the wiring install for Base Plate.
What confusing is that it looks as if you have to have a 2nd 7 pin connector connected to the RV to control the brakes?

" The Toad will get dirty, both inside the engine compartment and the front hood and fenders. Rocks can get kicked up by the MH which may damage the front of the Toad or its windshield IF you have incorrect/insufficient mud flaps. " may give me pause.
This would be Lincoln Navigator and I am kinda of a clean detail nut. Not to mention the windshield has a Head Up Display so expensive to replace. I will have to Google Protect a Tow.
