Yes, the traffic following behind you needs to what your vehicle and trailer combo are doing or where they may be going. As far as i'm aware, you do need a number plate on it too. |

In Tennessee If the trailer does not obstruct the view of the taillights on the pull vehicle, you wouldnt need lights.
Also, Only if the trailer is longer than 18 foot do you need a plate.
But, from the sounds of this question. You aren't even in the states, let alone Tennessee |

Some state used to allow only reflectors on very small trailers that didn't block the car/truck taillight, but since almost nobody goes small, all basically require tail and brake lights. Everyone requires licenses. |

Only if the lights and number plate on the main vehicle cannot be seen clearly from behind and depending on the size and weight of the trailor |
