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.
Thanks! I was going to replace mine today, but I'll just wait for this to come in and do it, so I won't have future problems

The kit installs in the passenger side (you don't need to take the entire door panel off, though), so feel free to install your driver's side motor while you're waiting. That's how I did mine.
