Mounting GoPro to helmet & light?

After a very intense incident today where two guys in a truck were driving down the wrong way, almost colliding into me, and then verbally assaulting me and looping around the area to intimidate me further, I decided I need to buy a Gopro camera for documentation of these kinds of events. The best place to mount a camera is on the helmet, but I also need my light there. Anyone have a camera and a light (with external battery) attached ? Is it possible? I don't really want to remove the light..

I have a P7 flashlight mounted on top of my helmet. When I got a GoPro it came with a head strap.
I mounted it on my hemet like a miner's lamp. In the following videos, this is the setup that I had:

That would definitely get someone's attention.
