i need some help, i am looking to get some lights to put on my winch bumper, problem is i go through some deep water to go off roading in my area. does anyone out there know what lights are water proof and can handle being submerged for more than a minute? al help is wanted, thanks in advance.

 

$25 Baja lights from Walmart/Autozone/Advance/anywhere really. Rammed mine through the trunks of two cars and actually got one stuck in the taillight of one and they're still working today. Busted the glass in them both when i hit the cars and cracked the casing (i hit the car pretty damn hard lol) and just busted the glass front the rest of the way out of them both and busted the one that didnt break to match the other. Have ran them like that for something like 8 months and they never gave me a problem, never replaced a bulb. Use em everyday as well. I would definitely recommend them

 

how bright are they? im looking for something pretty bright (if thats possible)

 

They're 55 watts as they come but you can upgrade em with 100w bulbs from advanced or auto zone for not too much. Just make sure you're using the right gauge wiring cause the wiring it comes with sucks.

 

x2 they arent as bright as my warn lights of course, a little dimmer than your headlights (not as wide of course) before you upgrade the bulbs, If i break my warn lights, ill buy another set of the Bajas.

 

Look for some rigid led d2's.

Google black rhino performance and call them for the nest price i have seen.

You cant even compare led lights to something you can get at walmart.

I have a 10" bar on my teryx and its amazing

 

Yes they're bright, but nowhere near $25.

 

thanks to all, are the led's able ro be submerged? i have to go through a deep water crossing. just dont want to spend big bucks and wind up shorting them out.

 

honestly, im sure the led's are bright as hell. However... the components in the led's are more suseptable to water damage than your standard lights so if they arent garanteed waterproof i wouldnt get them. You could also use some silicone to make certain the lights hold up to water. I'd really recommend getting bulbed lights mostly because if the water does damage the lights, its just like $4 a bulb to fix them. The led's on the other hand... your gonna need a whole new set of lights.

 

yeah good point there. those things are pretty pricey. maybe ill just put a light bar on that way i dont have to worry about water logging them lol. i just have so much room on my bumper, i figured it'd look better with a set of lights on it.

 

Like i said, lights should be fine if you get bulbed lights. If you're really worried then turn them off when you go through the water, hardly a chance they'll get damaged then.

 

The rigids are water proof...do a youtube search there are all sorts of torture tests.

You get what you pay for when it comes to lights. If your good with wallmart lights more power to you

 

When it comes to LED lights and such you're correct. However bulbed lights are all basically the same. I upgraded to Warn 650D's from my walmart lights and the only difference is the size of wire in the kit and the case the bulb is in looks cooler. Otherwise, i could have just upgrade to a 100W H3 bulb and gotten the same result. I'd put the LED lights on my roof, but i'd never put that kind of money on the front of my jeep to possibly get smashed. Thats just my .02 cents.

 

and a valid .02 cents it is. as far as the bulbed lights go i wouldn't run them while in the water, just wasn't sure if most casings were sealed to not take on water. my factory fog lights def didnt like the water one bit lol

 

Well if i were you i'd get the baja's from walmart, some upgraded wire(just a size or two up) and 100W bulbs. That'll give you some good light. I'd just get upper sized wire and cut it to links matching that that comes from the wiring kit that comes with the lights.
