shouldn't cost much, heaters only needs a live at one end and earth at the other so only 2 wires per seat. a switch and fuse would be nice aswell.

got me a set of these seats in my workshop,can't decide wether to retrim the drivers seat and use em in my corsa or sell em cheap.

when i got my cally leathers in, wirin in heated seats took me bout 30 mins.

I got the switches out of a cally in the scrappers, using the plugs from behind the consol as well.

I used haynes and traced wiring under seats. Few bullet connectors + soldering and it was done.

Simple as.

However, rumour has it on here, some of the early corsa models (like my 1993 LS), had alot of the "extra" wiring there, where as after a certain date, vaux started being stingey about it.

lol exactly - u'd be hard pushed to find a place that will really.

ive got the wiring in mine, found it when i changed my subframes.

there is a slit in the carpet under the seats, there is like a metal strengthening bar there, next to this i found a strip of wires going nowhere, it just stopped with some kind of plug on the end. mines a 1993 ls.
