Need light

OK I am a cheap-*** but need more light. My bright box burnt up after 2 years so I don't want to go that route again. So without adding a light bar or drilling the bumper what are the options? I do not have factory fogs so how big a light can I get in there? Also has anyone tried mounting lights behind the grill?

This is the route I'm taking as soon as it comes in. I'm installing an SUV light harness, adding a diode to the blank connector and pulling the wire to my fogs so they stay on no matter what. This will allow me to have my high beams on with my low beams on as well, plus my fogs. With the silverstars in the light buckets, I should get some good light output. As for the factory fog location, only seen some of the small ricer fogs fit in there, its a small area. I like the idea of a couple lights behind the grill. I have thought about it and would have to ditch the factory grill so that the lights would shine through. I have a billet overlay right now, so I'd have to get rid of it. The above light mods are being called the "Steve Racer" mods.

I took a 4" can and it will fit in the area of the stock fogs, so now all I need is a 4" light. I have started on a bracket that will bolt to the bottom and top lip on the bumper, there are holes there so it will be easy and stable so now I only need the light.
