Also on the Two Guys episode they mentioned the kit have a relay circuit with a swith under the dash that is flipped so the driver's side handle could be used to lower the passenger side window.
If you used micro switches you'd need to use relays as well, you could use momentary contact push button switches tho that would handle the current so they could be direct wired and would be more durable at the same time.
