Correct answer
- BLas luces de posición y las de corto alcance (cruce).The sidelights and the dipped headlights.
Explanation
In tunnels you must always have at least the sidelights and dipped headlights on; sidelights alone are not enough, and fog lights do not replace dipped headlights. If the tunnel is not lit well enough and you will not dazzle anyone, at more than 40 km/h you use main beam (Articles 100 and 101).
