Correct answer
- Aluz de cruce (cortas), como mínimo.dipped headlights, at least.
Explanation

Even if the tunnel is well lit, you must use dipped headlights as well as sidelights (Article 101.1); main beam only if the tunnel is poorly lit, you are driving at more than 40 km/h and you will not dazzle anyone.
