Finally found a set of door panels for my car after a year and a half of looking. Paul Van hooked me up, he found a set at a jy in chicago and grabbed em for me, only cost me $15 a piece..much better than that $150 ebay panels. They were very nice but they had that fake woodgrain crap on them, so I used a hair dryer and alot of pacience peeling it off, had to reglue a few spots at the top where they seperated but turned out nice!

old..cracked, seperating, peeling and broken tabs on the back

While I had them off I fiddled with the door switches that are burried inside the door..pulled them out and realized they are probably the reason why my interior lights are acting up, the little nipple thing in the middle was stuck and barely moved..so I sprayed them off with liquid wrench and lubed them up to keep them from sticking. Hopefully this fixes all the funky problems with interior lights and keypad. I highly recommend doing this..it's way easy so long as you have limber arms to reach inside the door to grab it.
