Correct answer

  • ASí, o bien la de estacionamiento, o las de posición correspondientes al lado de la calzada.Yes, or else the parking light, or the sidelights on the side facing the carriageway.
Explanation

According to Article 105 of the General Traffic Regulations, a vehicle parked at night on an insufficiently lit travesía must have its sidelights on. They can be replaced by the parking lights or, if the vehicle is parked parallel to the kerb, by the two sidelights on the side facing the carriageway.
