Just got my 03 last week and found these buttons. Are they aftermarket? Look like seat warmers but can't figure out if that's what it is. Don't see a major difference with them on.

 

People sometimes add seat warmers as DIY mod, but it's not something the car came with from the factory. Those switches are aftermarket/DIY.

 

Alright, thanks. I figured it was aftermarket. I'll have to try it out on a longer trip to see if thy work.

 

when you switch them on. looks like bacon will fall from sky. just my guess.

 

Wouldn't that be nice? Haha

 

Trace the wires my friend. Looks like a clean install

 

That would be so much extra work! lol.
Next to the cig lighter is much easier and IMO looks better like the pic below..

(Not my car btw, found it on google)

 

Those are definitely eBay seat heaters. Just installed a set a few months ago and they have been great. They aren't instant heat but do get really hot on high after 3-5 minutes. However, the wiring provided is nowhere near enough to reach the overhead lights so I'd definitely be checking that first if they aren't working.

 

do you have a link to the ones you picked up?

 

Thanks, so I switched them on and I can definitely feel them working after a few minutes . Will come in handy when I'm going to class at 7:30 AM
