Question Add On Driving Lights

I am looking for an easy and inexpensive way to mount external driving lights to our 2001 ML320. The small "bull bar" that MB offers would work just fine as a mounting bar if someone knows where I can get one at a not MB price? I am also open to other ideas if you know of a better solution. I have already activated the dash operated fog lights which was just a matter of inserting the missing 55watt bulbs. Thanks for your help.

The M-B grille guard is relaly the best option. I can't suggest any less expensive ones. I installed Hella FF200 chrome (fogs in my cae) to the new style bar on my '98, and they look and work perfectly. Don't cheap out on this, or you'll regret it. Here is a photo of my car and a link to where I got the Hellas.
