            I recently installed some HID's on my protege....I reeeaaally like em! so much more visibility and nobodys been flashing their headlights like i'm blinding them too.

            As for the driver side window lift motor....that's gonna make me want to break this F**kin door into pieces...this is the 2nd time i've replaced the motor and it will not lift the stupid glass back up. I get the clicking noise like it's too weak.
            I'm about to change over the driv side to a manual crank window, and just use the other 3 power windows as is.

              Are you sure it's the motor that's bad? Isn't there a regulator for power windows that could be causing problems?


              Just my insight on the situation.

                I switched both the driver side and passenger side window motor and regulator. The passenger side has been working fine ever since I ordered them. Seeing how the driver side gets used the most, I figured that's why it wore down faster. Once that happened(later on last year) I couldn't find any of them for sale like before. I actually got them off ebay, and they were redesigned to match the same sprocket as the rear motors. They're finally back on sale on ebay so I ordered the motor and regulator again. I noticed this time that there's a 1 year warranty so I'm gonna hold onto that paperwork. It costs about 63 bucks so I'll find out how it goes in about a week.
