Yeah if you're not comfy with wiring, better to get the harness from the junk yard. I'm sure someone has a schematic online for this conversion.

There's two ways
1. Ex floor harness, fuse box, door harnesses, run wiring all the way to the fuel pump and nonsense
or
2. ex door harnesses and switches, I can help with the latter

you probably wont find one at a pic-a-part you'll have to get one from a full service junkyard and they were asking for $100. That's waaay too much; Look on ebay, I paid 23.00 shipped for the left door harness.

You could aslo do it with a handful of spade connectors and some wire but that is a major PITA

That dealer price sounds more reasonable; now that I think about it the junkyard wanted $100 for both sides but even then they're way too expensive. I wouldn't go with honda since youre gonna hack the harness anyways
