If you've been cleared for the approach and the visibility drops below minimus AFTER you have reached the FAF or FAP, you can legally give it a shot. If you can see the runway environment/lights, you can land. Otherwise you have to go missed. If the vis. drops below minimums BEFORE you get to the FAP/FAF, you can't attempt the approach.

Of course, if you have crossed the FAF/FAP and you get down to the MDA/DA you don't see sh#t.... Common sense I guess, unless you have a CATIII ILS!
