This video shows you what the approach lights from the ground look like with very low visibility caused by fog. Here's the full METAR that was current when I filmed this video: SPECI KGGG 231204Z 00000KT 1/4SM R13/1400V1600FT FG VV002 14/13 A3015 RMK AO2 T01440133=
Plain text: Special observation at East Texas Regional Airport at 1204 UTC: wind calm, visibility 1/4 sm, RVR 1400' variable 1600' on runway 13 in fog, vertical visibility 200' temperature 14 dewpoint 13 altimeter 30.15, remarks: station has a precipitation discriminator, temperature 14.4 degrees C, dewpoint 13.3 degrees C.
This was filmed early in the morning while on a walk on the airport perimeter road non-aircraft movement area (where I can walk and run because I have an airport badge.) Pictures were taken from the FAA's Airman's Information Manual.
This video should prove especially helpful for IFR pilot practical test prep, oral test prep, and it's also a good review for dispatchers or pilots!
Check out my other videos especially the ones about how instruments and navigational aids work. I also have help videos for passing the instrument pilot knowledge exam and instrument pilot checkride!

Always remember that Laura, when you get right down to it, is just a pilot and a dispatcher. She is explaining facts from the source materials but may be incorrect or out of date. You should always follow your primary guidance (Aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to anything from this RU-vid channel.
