How to keep mud out of LED bulb fan?

[WXman]

So, I have aftermarket LED fog bulbs. L O V E them. Freakin' love them. They make such an enormous difference.

I'm about to install an aftermarket steel bumper, and it has provisions to reuse my stock fog housings. BUT...it does not have the filler panels that keep water, mud, snow, salt, and grime off of the fog light housings the way that the factory bumper does. This is a problem because my LED bulbs have built-in cooling fans on the body of the bulb itself.

I've been trying to think of some way I could modify the bumper or design an add-on for the bulb to allow it to still cool itself, while keeping mud and debris out of the fan. So far I'm blank. I thought I'd run it by you guys, because there are some resourceful guys on here. Any ideas?? Help a brother out.

Nearly anything can be shielded/guarded depending on your fabrication abilities.

Post a picture of the rear of the bumper with the lights installed

I'll post a picture later when I get it out of the box. But from the stock photos on the website, it looks like maybe I could just cut some panels out of thinner gauge steel and bolt them on over the lights. Hmmm...

That’s why I didn’t go with super nova

Fabricated a simple air deflector/skid plate to replace the factory plastic "scoop" under the bumper, and currently working on the plates that'll fit over the fog light housings similar to stock to prevent mud,snow,grime from ruining them. I'll post pics later.
