Correct answer
No, dipped-beam or main-beam headlights must also be used.
No. Position lights must be accompanied by dipped or main beam as appropriate to the road and circumstances. Dipped beam applies on urban roads and sufficiently lit roads. Outside built-up areas on insufficiently lit roads, Articles 100 to 102 govern main and dipped beam, always avoiding dazzling. Position lights indicate presence and width but do not replace the lighting required for night driving. Fog and other low-visibility situations have separate rules; this question specifies normal visibility.
