It rained here in Moab and the temps dipped down to a cool 50\u00b0F. I had previously installed these seats, but never wired up the heat. They are super comfortable and look great, but the heat, oh now that is the icing on the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each seat has two plugs and PRP includes all the wires and a nice back lit switch. I use an sPod so I did not use most of the wire and plugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I just powered it with my desktop power supply to make sure I knew what wire was what. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I cut up the wires and removed the switches. Used these heat shrink butt splices for the first time. They seem pretty nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All 7 feet of wire down to this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two simple plugs and then hooked up to the sPod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you first turn them on, they pull about 2.5 amps, but after about 60 seconds, it goes down to 1 amp. I was really concerned with power draw, so I am happy to see how little it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how do they work? They are amazing, like sitting a warm cozy chair by a fire. If your baja is like mine and does have heat anymore, these are the way to go. I’ll talk about how you install the actual seats later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
