Can be expensve - you need motors for the doors, switches etc. You might find on some models the extra equipment wont fit into the door...you might be better getting a door card and internals from a crashed car. You can buy cheap kits on fleabay...

What type of car is it?

If your car came with a high spec model that had electric windows, you car would have the wires to the actual door but no mechanism etc, so all you need to do is go around to a few scrap yards and see if you can get 2 doors out of a crashed one, strip out the door parts and transplant them into your own.

It would not be worth doing, best sell it and buy one with electric windows.
