Tricross and mounting headlight dilemma

As a recent 2007 Tricross Comp owner, how on earth can a headlight be mounted? The limited handlebar space not already taken by the rubber handgrips is packed with hand brake extension brackets and cables. In addition, the thick handgrip sections that take up most of the upper bar are slightly oblong and wouldn't hold a bracket made for a round circumference.

I measured and found no more than 3/8 inch of empty free space available for a headlight bracket just to the left of the stem, and a tight fit there to boot. It seems every headlight on the market comes with a bracket wider than that.

Are there any Tricross owners out there who were able to install a headlight anywhere on the frame successfully? I refuse to wear a geeky helmet or body attached headlight.
