    Hello. I'm installing aftermarket seat warmers in a 2017 SR5. The drivers-side front seat heat warmers installed fine. However, I'm struggling with how to run electrical for the passenger-side front seat since there isn't a fuse box on the right-side as there is on the left-side. I have a kit that includes a Toyota switch. Also, what would be a good fuse to provide the "night light?"

    By the way, Clazzio's all dark gray perforated leather seat covers look awesome on the MGM!

    I would've purchased directly from Clazzio's if I would've realized they had them but instead I purchased from Amazon using a kit made for Toyotas. Price was about $80. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0119553TC

    I have the driver-side seat warmer installed but am struggling with wiring on the passenger side.

    Just looked at the review images on Amazon and it looks like this guy ran them both to the fuse box. So maybe you need to run passenger one under the carpet through the center console for it to reach?

    I have a two day subscription to TIS. How do I go about locating the instructions for removing the panel below the dash and radio that contains the USB port, ECT switch, etc? There is where I'm installing the switch. I think I know how to install the seats and connect to the fuse box but am unsure how to disassemble the dash to install the switch by the USB and ECT switches. Thanks!

    Honestly, I did not need to remove that panel to install my switch there. I just used a panel removal tool to pop it out, than ran a zip tie with the wiring down into the driver foot well.
    You can also remove the center console area for easier access which is easy. Followed the dash removal steps on the Shift Sense Pro website.
