The IAF will be irrelevant as you are being vectored by SOCAL for an ILS.
Just prior to reaching the FAF, you'll need to ask for the RVR, which needs to be above your mins before you may continue.
Speaking technicalese only, why would you want to ask, if you are not told?

If she's 17, you'll wish you had asked. Ignorance doesn't always absolve guilt.

I need an answer and a reg for the following situation:
Flying into LAX, you are outside of FUELR for the ILS 25L on the arrival, and the weather is below mins. ATC says "reaching FUELR cleared ILS 25L." Can you accept this clearance?
We all know we can't go past the final approach fix unless we have the weather, but can we accept a clearance to begin the approach?
Please respond with the reg!
Thx

As indicated before you can accept the clearance, but the question is vague...poorly worded. The way the question reads it says you're not cleared for the approach until reaching the FAF, and this would never be the case. You should already be cleared for the approach if you're doing the intermediate phase.
Almost everyone is correct about being able accept a clearance and to shoot the approach until the FAF. At that point you need RVR/VIS above minimums. In other parts of the world, this is formally called the Approach Ban.
