Correct answer

  • BAlumbrado de corto alcance.Dipped headlights.
Explanation

In heavy rain you must switch on your lights, also during the day. On an urban road, the right choice is dipped headlights, which can be combined with the front fog light. Sidelights alone are not enough, and main beam would dazzle people in a built-up area.
