Do daytime running lights mean I don't need dipped headlights in low visbility?

I now have a 65-plate Kia Ceed, my first car with daytime running lights. Does this replace the requirement to use dipped headlights during times of low visibility in daylight?

Daytime running lights do not replace the need to use dipped headlights in low visibility, so you should continue to use dipped headlights when conditions require them.
