The kit splits up the circuit & powers both windows directly from the battery, theoretically extending the lifetime. There's a post on this forum somewhere about how to make your own wiring harness, but I just found the kit was easier.

I installed my motor/wiring kit about a year ago, and both motors are still goin strong. I also used an AutoZone motor, and the only thing I don't like about it is that it's quite a bit louder than the stock motor. Can't remember exactly which motor I got, but it's not worth another swap to deal with.
