Do you also have a link to where you purchased your switches/relays? Is it possible to use a stock toyota relay for this? Where did you wire the relay to for the signal? I was thinking about wiring the relay to the cluster and it's main 12v to the battery directly.

Sorry for all the noob questions and thanks again!

Sedan and 5 door liftback ones are interchangeable. 3 door liftback ones are unique.

I purchased the switches from a1electric.com

You can not use a stock Toyota relay, as it would require changing the body ECU (since the relay lives within there) and the body ECU is within the under dash fuse panel.

An aftermarket power window relay is your best option as it directly wires to the window motors. For where to grab ignition switched and high-current power, see my remote start DIY below:
