yea they run through that stupid connector...I remember reading a thread that had a how-to on how to re-run wires through that, but also if you search, the user "grimes" had a good explanation w/ pics on how to run wire through the door using just a drill and some grommets, which is what I did. I'll let someone else do the dirty work of looking up the links, cause it takes me forever to search sometimes and it's late
