Narrative:
I flew the approach to minimums with the autoplt and flight director. Broke out of clouds at minimums slightly right of course. Disconnected autoplt and made a correction to the left. Visibility was very poor. Returned focus to instruments, 1 quick scan showed an overcorrection to the left -- localizer needle now to right. Returned focus to outside environment and landed. Touchdown was on the left side of runway and aircraft bounced a couple of ft. Added power and corrected to the right toward center of runway. Right wingtip struck pavement breaking right landing light and right aft position light lens. Also made a 3/4 inch scrape in skin forward of position light lens.
