Default Headlights shorting?

So... there I am, on a local trail having fun. Some shallow creek crossings, a few mud puddles, nothing extreme. Maybe a foot, foot and a half deep. I go to hit this puddle, and...

Darkness. I hit the water, and watched it splashing in front of my hood. For approximately 1 or 2 seconds, the headlights and driving lights go out completely, then turn back on. Didn't happen when I did it again.

Anyone had this happen to them?

never heard of the issue... maybe a lose connection and the impact of hitting the water jiggled it enough? I know ive been up to the headlights in water while they were on and they never went out
