You cannot drive with sidelights alone. You always need sidelights plus some other light with them. Dipped headlights are for lighting the road in front of the vehicle at night without dazzling or bothering drivers coming the other way or other road users. They must be on in all motor vehicles and mopeds driving between sunset and sunrise on sufficiently lit roads, inside or outside built-up areas, or at any time of day through sufficiently lit tunnels and other stretches of road covered by the ‘tunnel’ sign. These vehicles must have dipped headlights on as well as the sidelights. The same lights must also be on in built-up areas when the road is insufficiently lit.
