How do you get a bumper as a birthday present from another member?

he took it off of his car after an accident. It had a little damage so it was just sitting on a storage shelf collecting dust. So he asked if I wanted it and I said yes!

got a new mod not too long ago. my buddy, jesse, gave me this tri-star emblem he had made for his car. he had an extra one and since we are on the www.teamallstars.com team it was fitting to add it to the grill area on the lower bumper

I have just ordered some aftermarket headlights and HID's for my low beams. I'm wanting to replace my daytime running lamps with HID's too but am unsure on some of the wiring. Did you make the halos be your drl's and have your low beams be your headlights and the HID drl's? It looks legit, and thats how I'm hoping to have my lights be wired. I'm worried about the drl's not putting out enough wattage for an HID. Could you elaborate on how you wired your headlight assembly? Thanks!
