Default need help with swapping seats

I want to buy some leather seats from a 350z club member and i was wondering if i had to run a new power cable from the cigarette lighter to get them to work. I have a 2004 base model and i think the seats are coming from a touring model. How difficult would it be to switch out seats?

for just the power i just ran 2 wires to make the power work from the lighter in the dashboard...for heated seats it may be more difficult to make the heat work.

they will turn your girl on though if you go out on a date, then just lean over and give her a kiss, flip on the heat, and in less than five minutes she will be jumping on top of you!!

I went straight from the battery to the seats (with an inline fuse) via 8 gauge power wire and I also grounded each seat to one of the bolts holding the seat down (after a little sanding). I didn't want to try using the cig lighter wires after taking a look at how small they were. I've had bad experiences with not getting an adequate uniform current. as a bonus I don't ever getting electric shocks after I get out of my Z anymore.
