It is normal procedure to turn Landing Lights OFF in low visibility approaches, particularly Auto-Land. The glare from the lights against the Fog/Mist may make it impossible to see the Runway Lights at the minima.

During the subsequent taxy, 'lighting up' would be normal to see the close-in obstacles, and to advertise your position to other airport users.
