Possible solutions:
(please save your hero comments. I won't blind people by accident. There are no other humans where I go driving.)

1-Light bar behind the grill
Pros: Been done before. Fairly straightforward install. Light bar is mostly out of sight
Cons: This doesn't seem very useful because of the limitation in aiming the lights. I don't want more light in the same area, I need lights aimed up and out to the sides

2- Add adjustable driving lights on the lower part of the front bumper, in front of the fog lights, so they can be aimed up and out.
Pros: Light where I need it. Adjustable. Cheap
Cons: Ugly lights out in the open. Have to drill into the bumper.

3- Change headlights?? I don't know if this is actually an option. If anyone has info I would greatly appreciate it.

Basically I want rally lighting, but I don't want to make my car look ridiculous. Maybe suction cup mounts and put them on the hood???

Any other ideas?
I'll trade you (plus I'll add in some cash) for my Release Series 1.0 headlights
