Correct answer
- BEl de posición junto con el de corto alcance.The sidelights together with dipped headlights.
Explanation
At night, inside a built-up area and on an insufficiently lit road, you must have the sidelights and dipped headlights on (Article 101 of the General Traffic Regulations). Sidelights alone are not enough, and main beam is meant for roads outside built-up areas.
