Great write up. Glad I could help. Wish I had this when I did mine. I'm envious of all of you guys that have these great post with the write ups and pictures. I'm mechanically inclined but not very computer savy.
Hey Zulf, I forgot to ask if the wiring harness on the Dorman fit the Lexus or did you have to splice the old on onto it?
Yea, sorry, I might not have mentioned, but yes, you can easily swap out the Lexus one onto the Dorman one. Very easy, they are spade connectors, just be careful to note which is Positive and Negative. Honestly, I'm not sure it matters, since it is a DC motor, but might still be a polarity thing.
Just mark it with a marker + / - so you hook up right.
The kit also comes with new standoffs, so use that as well, as well as the gasket, everything else aside from the motor is non-essential.
