There are devices you can install is you're planning on driving through flooded areas (which I advise against no matter where your air filter is located). This too is mentioned in the FAQ thread if I remember correctly... I know I've posted data on it a couple times now.

As for debris and mud and such... The idea for most is KEEP the fog light in place. If you remove the fog light it should be obvious that more frequent servicing/cleaning will be needed on the outward facing portion... remember, the rear should stay relatively clean and free breathing.
