Yes, it's probably the cheapest cuz it's basically drill a hole (usually in an aftermarket fiberglass item) and run the wires. The problem is that you'll pop bulbs like they're going out of style. Even Cessna decided that nose-bowl mounted landing lights were a bad idea, and put them back in the wings. The engine vibration plays hell with the bulb life. There are some after-market bulbs and non-aircraft bulbs that you might be able to get approved, some that are more rugged. But since the whole point of a landing light is for it to come on, you might want it somewhere where it will more than once.
