Rogue_Alphonse Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 If I order a new heated seat kit online, it's complete with wiring and switches. But the kit I found with illuminated switches (which I want because I am OCD) is about $70. OR I can go to the junkyard, cut the heat pads and wiring out of the seats, remove a factory OEM switch and plug from a car or SUV, make my own wiring harness and probably spend around $25-30. But the risk is, the pads don't work... so of course I would test them before install. It really is all about the look of the switch as well as the size too, because there aren't many places to put extra switches in a clean Foxbody Mustang interior.
fuggnificent Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Illuminated switches sound sexy. Youd have guys n gals lined up. Do u need the $35 that bad? Being unhappy with plain switches? Just saying. I spent $300 on seat covers...sigh...i miss my throw away $$ days
CAC Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Just buy the kit, because if it don't work you can always send it back unlike the junkyard and it not working like you said.
Rogue_Alphonse Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 Its a cross-up between saving money and honestly an OEM switch from a car looks better than the switches provided with the kits. CAC[/member] the yard I go to probably would just tell me to get another heat pad... the dude that works there is very old school...
