Power lock conversion kit?

Hi all.
I also found this conversion kit off Amazon. It has some good reviews and very few bad ones.. It's cheap so I thought I'd try it but I first wanted to ask if anyone had experience with similar after Market power locks? Thanks!

Re: Power lock conversion kit?

Is the car running and driving yet? Priorities.

Do the locks work? Because thirdgen power locks are usually "sticky" if they work at all. Looks like that kit is a keyless entry module, rather than a lock conversion kit. So if you don't have power locks already, you'll still need to add lock solenoids (the little electric motors that move the actual lock rods) and wiring.

Yeah I saw some of those too. I'll be sure to add those to my cart!
