Correct answer

  • CLuces de posición y de crucePosition lights and dipped headlights.
Explanation

Position lights and dipped headlights are compulsory between sunset and sunrise, whatever the visibility. Even if you can see the road clearly because it is getting light, you must switch on your lights to be seen by other road users. Driving with only the position lights is prohibited, because they show the presence and width of the vehicle but are not suitable for lighting the road while moving.
