Hi ogb1, you can use 3 prong momentary rocker switches and SPDT relays. You'll need one switch and two relays for each window you want to control. Cost to do two windows should be about $10. If need help wiring them, let us know.

Where is a good place to find these kind of switches? I am about to add both power windows and locks to my car, and I can't find a set of inexpensive *matching* switches anywhere. All I want is a set of basic black plastic switches that I can pop right in the door panels. Thanks!

Hi 14years, you can purchase the swithces and relays at your local electronics shop or even Radio Shack. If you don't have any in your area, you can purchase them online.

Here's one switch I found at Radio Shack: https://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F010%5F007%5F002%5F000&product%5fid=900%2D8496

Just make sure the switch does not lock in either "on" position.
