Correct answer

  • ALuces de posición y de cruce; si tiene antiniebla delantero, puede encenderlo también.Sidelights and dipped headlights; if it has a front fog light, you may switch that on too.
Explanation

A motorcycle always has its dipped headlight on, as well as its sidelights, and in fog it may also use the front fog light, which is optional (Article 106.2 of the RGC). The rear fog light is only switched on in thick fog or other particularly bad conditions, not in light fog.
