Correct answer

  • ASí, una luz blanca delante y una luz roja detrás.Yes, a white light at the front and a red light at the rear.
Explanation

Between sunset and sunrise, a load sticking out at the front is marked with a white light and one sticking out at the rear with a red light, as well as the rear V-20 panel (Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations). The reflective panel alone is not enough at night.
