Correct answer

  • CNo, debe utilizarse además el alumbrado de cruce o carretera.No, you must also use the dipped headlights or the main beam.
Explanation

Between sunset and sunrise, sidelights are not enough on any road: you must also have the dipped headlights on, or the main beam outside built-up areas on poorly lit roads. This way the vehicle can see and be seen.
