Credits: Mex (for DIY), SkipBarber (for troubleshoot), Sovereignx (for idea)
Name: SPAL UNIVERSAL KIT - Two Illuminated Switches
(some reason they don't light up for me)
Place to buy: www.eBay.com
Cost: Approximately $85 with shipping
Benefit: NO MORE CRANKING and goes twice as fast as oem but no oem look

Rep Power: 311 BOOYAH! center console switches OWN! was a tight fit though. I would have never guessed your car was a DX vinh, from the outside.
ewww! you got the arrows! here's mine:
I didn't bother hooking up power to light up the little windows. I'm not letting anything else drain my batteries.
Aren't the doors SOOOO much cleaner and more smooth flowing than before? I just pretend they little caps are 'tweeters'. lolz

SPAL is proven (by the 3 members here who have done the upgrade) to be great. But if you don't trust ebay enough, go to www.autoloc.com
A little more pricey. They also have power doorlocks, keyless alarm entry, shaved handles kits, etc! lotsa stuff to play with in the future.

Rep Power: 291 thought about it but i doesn't fit because it uses the existing
gears to rotate the windows....
so the motor rotates in a gear to gear (like a clock) concept

I think the best spot for them on the door is forward of the door handle. Unfortunately, I put my tweeters there, so I'll probably put them on the center console like the other guys.
BTW, here's the link to a guy that sells these kits alot:
Click here!
And here's SPAL's Homepage if anyone wants to read up on them.

Rep Power: 311 here's something that DX owners might want to print out.
DX Owners' Desireable Upgrades Checklist:
[ ] Power Windows
[ ] Power Door Locks
[ ] LX/EX Gauge Cluster
[ ] Body Color Matching Exterior Trim (door handles, mirrors, trunk piece)
I'm halfway done with my list!
and so far, I've only spent less than $200 on power windows and door locks

Rep Power: 292 I'm seriously considering the first two on your list, XxSoVeReiGNxX.
I've taken care of the other two though!
I installed an aftermarket tach, and I've painted the door handles and trunk trim already with Plasti-Kote 5302 silver. Gotta fix my pinstripe problem...long story...I'll tell you about it one day..

Rep Power: 0 very nice and clean looking switches, i love the placement in the center console thingy.
if i had money over i would be seriously considering buying a set of those things for my HX.

Rep Power: 0 hey thanks for the links that show the different sets of power windows its a really helpful link. i dont think i will get the LX/EX cluster i think it might be easier just to add a tachometer then to try to find a cluster that matches your miles and other things
