Exclamation Water proof fog lights?

I looked but couldn't find a thread on it so here's one. I want to put some fog lights on my brush guard (2-4 of them) and I'm worried that they might get wet when driveing through water I don't plan on going through water that deep but I might by accident, but I could easily have it splash up on them and I don't wanna mess them up or mess up the jeeps electricle system. I aso want to put a row of lights on the roof and back up lights too I was hopping for some ideas and if waters that big of a worry I don't plan on going through anything deep mostly flooded rds maybe small streams just little stuff I don't have a snorkle yet anyway. Heres a pic of her when I got her I haven't changed much at all

And here's a link to some I'm looking at on ammazon
Amazon.com: Navigator NV-1204" x 6" Clear Fog Light with Stone Guard and Cover: Automotive Amazon.com: Navigator NV-1204" x 6" Clear Fog Light with Stone Guard and Cover: Automotive

And a light bar on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOUR-CLEAR-L...-/290822221777

Looking for some brighter headlights too ( I like to be able to see if you can't tell lol):

I've submerged my Hella FF500s and Black Magics. And my rear Hella FF50 (off my Ranger, other one broke on a curb...) gets dunked every single time i load my boat. No issues; they still work great. I've you're really worried, get some clear silicon and seal them up. Worst that could happen is you blow a bulb; oh well, replace it.

Sweet!

I didn't know if water getting in the lights would mess with the rest of the jeep good to know Thanks!

Any sugestions for lights over all? I wanna light it up and be able to see better at night on and off road it's my daily driver

Thanks again!

They both look really nice I've always liked the look of the LEDS but there exspensive is it worth saveing up and getting a LED light bar? Instead of regular square/round off road lights? I've always liked them it's just the price... haha

Also I'm puting them on the middle bar there it's already wired and driled for them plus it's set back behind the push bar so I don't have to worry about them

Oh I see nice, looking closer the round ones look like good back up lights but wouldn't project far enough for me in the front I don't think guess one way to find out is to try them

You are probably right. Keep in mind these are supposed to be for ATVs, Polaris, John Deeres, etc... But they are definitely affordable compared to most options. I had crap Walmart "Burners" which put out less light than XJ headlights, that was a waste of $20. I'm asking for the square LEDs for my birthday.

yeah mine just came on my jeep so i wired em up correctly and have been lovin em ever since, just a fyi certain states only allow up to 4 headlights on at a time so if you do get 4 wire them to separate switches and only use 2 plus your headlights for on road use
