Correct answer
- BLas luces de posición y las de cruce (cortas).The sidelights and dipped headlights.
Explanation
Under Article 101.1 of the RGC, in built-up areas you must have dipped headlights on, as well as the sidelights, also when the road is not well enough lit. Main beam is only compulsory outside built-up areas, at more than 40 km/h and on poorly lit roads (Article 100).
