Airbags in seats are usually separate (yellow) wires to the rest of the gubbins so I wouldn't imagine connecting them up was too difficult.

Just out of interest how much are the leather seats worth I know someone who is selling them and just want to get an idea if I'm getting a deal or not.

I paid £150 + £50 for P&P and I got seats, door cards and the leather part of the armrest.

The only other full leather interior on eBay was £350 + P&P and didn't include the armrest.

I have done this conversion mate, but it was a while ago.
you will defo need the switches, but when I did mine, I was fitting the half leather to a '99 model. The plugs for the switches were in the centre console (pull the bit out that has the traction control switch in) and I just traced the wires from there. From memory they were blue and red. But like I said it was a long time ago.

If you get the switches and plug them in, they will light up. But you need to connect them up to the seat.

I have my old seats in the shed, I will try work out from my wiring what I connected to what.

But start with the switches and work you way from there if you get stuck drop us a pm and I will see if I can help mate. Smile

Thanks, I have tried tracing the wires back but I got to a junction box and couldn't trace it further.

I'm going to have another go this weekend cos I've been busy hammering Skyrim.
