External lights - how to keep the theives at bay?

I'm planning on fitting some external lights to my 110, however I'm curious how you keep the kit from getting knicked by theiving scum?

I read somewhere about locking nuts or something, however my friend Google isn't cooperating... keeps sending me to dodgy sites.

Or something like TESE

I would be more worried about theft of vehicle!

Also depends what the lights are fixed to as well.
Some light bars are just 4 bolts, Patriot light brackets two bolts per bracket, on A bar could be just 4 bolts to undo etc etc!

sods law applies here, in that the first time you forget to remove them some scrote will take advantage of the quick release and be off with them instead.

Thanks to all for the answers...

Those anti-theft nut locks are what I was looking for.

The lights will be mounted to a Land Rover expedition rack; it has mounting points that are welded to the rack itself. Four up front and one in the back.
