You answered correctly. If you are driving at night within a built-up area and oncoming drivers flash their headlights, it usually means your vehicle is dazzling other drivers, possibly because your lights are too bright or incorrectly adjusted. It can also mean you've forgotten to switch on your dipped headlights and are difficult to see. Both situations can be dangerous, as being dazzled reduces the ability of others to drive safely, and not using proper headlights makes your car less visible. Flashing headlights in this context is a warning for both these situations. However, you should never respond by turning on your main beam lights, as that would dazzle other drivers even more. Always make sure to use dipped headlights within built-up areas during darkness.
