Default Mirror Mount Light Mount Combo??

Just got my 2008 Rubicon yesterday (4+ month wait) and one of the first things I want to do is find a good mirror relocation bracket so I can ditch the (full) doors and add aftermarket lights. I've read other threads about some options and done some quick research online, but I have seen anything matches what I'm looking for. Ultimately, I'm looking for brackets that do the following:

1. Allows me to use the full doors without clearance problems
2. Are solid enough for highway driving
3. Will accept aftermarket lights too (one bracket for both would be great) or atleast not interfer with adding another bracket
4. Mirror location that still allows lights to be mounted in a place that doesn't kill my visibility.

Suggestions?

I just bought a new "Windshield Reinforcement bracket" (the odd shaped bracket that you will be mounting it too). I am going to weld on a tongue for a light, and will be attempting to relocate the mirror there, but do not have anything yet.

The single bracket was something like $35. The dealer was only able to find the driver side bracket, and said that the pass. side was not available. Either way, I'll be adding a documentation procedure later on when I start work for this (either that, or posting a 'how not to...' documentation.

.....I thought the Jeep was expensive... but the accessories are killer! Now I'm getting a welder so I can do this myself. Apparently, its cheaper to spend hundreds of dollars to do it myself instead of spending 40 for a bracket
