Has anyone tried this? Not sure I've seen if so.

You'll need (6) from that list, says about $80. Then switches.. I assume if you've got electric heated you'll have the right loom already.

Those side ones will work, but not sure about the base/back ones, since they are part of the leather covers themselves.

It'd probably be easier and cheaper to swap for heated ones, then sell your non-heated ones... you will be without seats a few days while you swap it all over doing it DIY, and I think you will only have the side parts heated with those bits (and a great deal of work un-wrapping all the leather etc)

I wouldn't like to take them apart to do it anyway, vs just buying some heated ones and swapping them over in a few hours :)
