I did this with my car.. it is a simple swap out under the dash.. don't forget to wire the switch to at least a 15 amp fuse.. also, put a little locktight on the nut (off the motor shaft) that controls the arms.. mine came loose, to fix it I had to turn on the wiper, then shut it down mid arc so the screw would be accessible under the dash..
