Default Installed heated seat elements to CSL seats

I couldn't live without my heated seats so I wired up the heated seats elements inside of the seat cushions. It took about 2 hours to do everything, I took my time I'm sure I could have done it quicker next time. Just curious how many of you have done the same.

It worked out perfectly because I wanted to change the seat position of the driver seat anyways, so gave me the perfect opportunity to get this done.

Unfortunately for you not quite, as it looks stock and a normal person wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless they lifted up the seat cushion pads then they would see the wire. So the mudflap no matter what would be an eye soar all day long.

Ca doesn't get too cold, but i like to drive with my windows down and the heater on sometimes. So that's why.

Also San Francisco is the city of fog, so it does get chili unlike LA.
