For just a throw in your glove box light or in a drawer for emergencys that runs off cr123a’s or a 18650 and is cheap. I would probably suggest buying a few 501b’s or the 502b. Usually under $10. The design has been around for years. They use what is called a P60 drop in which you should find alot of different options.
Using 2 cr123a’s use to be a common thing but its starting to become hard to find in a flashlight. If you can mod a flashlight then it opens up a lot more options.
This appears to be KD’s P60 style 501b http://kaidomain.com/Led-Flashlights/KDLITKER-E6
In your price range for a quality light all I can think of is maybe a Nitecore EC20 or maybe something offered by Surefire
