Correct answer

  • BLa luz de posición y corto alcance.Sidelights and dipped headlights.
Explanation

In a built-up area, when the road is insufficiently lit, you must have the sidelights and dipped headlights on. Main beam is meant for roads outside built-up areas, and sidelights alone do not let you see or be seen well enough.
