4th gen door panels

If i were to put 4th gen door panels in my 3rd gen, how would I adapt the power locks becuase the 4th gens have them on the arm rests, right?

I haven't done this **** yet, but I do know a thing or two about it.

You can switch the wires from the console to the door panels, that would be your best bet, then you can discard the console switches.

But, the boord panels will the the stock dash towards the fornt top of the car. THe panels were made to flow witht he 4th gen dash, and it doesn't fit with the 3rd gen dash. You have to cut either the door panel or the dash to get it to fit right... or convert to 4th gen dash.
