Tom Faucett (I think I misspelled that) has a set of those cheap rectangular
"driving lights" wired up and attached to the crossbar of his hitch. I haven't
had the chance to see it firsthand but it sounds like it works pretty well.
I've also got a link (at home) to a site selling a similar kit for $35. You
could probably get a $15 set of lights, wire them into the reverse light
circuit, and do it all for maybe $20 in parts and 2 hours of easy labor.
