The kit gives you plenty of wiring to run through the dash and into the door panels. As others have stated, not a difficult kit to install, and inexpensive.

I would caution on buying a cheap power window kit. TRUCK'N magazine did a write-up 3 or 4 issues ago on an installation of power door locks and windows. They warned of cheaper power window kits that use a nylon fishing wire with plastic "*****" used to open/close the windows. These are prone to snap. The article suggested the stronger nylon "belt" and teeth type setup; much stronger.

So, in the catagory of power windows, if you buy cheal, you get cheap, and would end up doing it twice, costing you more in the long run.
