Far better to calculate the ROD to arrive at MDH just short of the MAP and, if the actual is correct, break cloud with the lights and runway directly in front of you. Modern runway lights are very powerful and the pattern of lead in lights naturally leads you towards the runway.
Not rocket science Hummingfrog. Lots of private fixed wing pilots can do that without the luxury of another pilot in the r/h seat instead of a complaining wife.
