Fitting Corbeau seats to Puma Defender
I'm probably being incredibly dim but my new seats have 2 connectors attached to them, previously the yellow banded connector went into the seat base and the other plugged into the floor.

Where does the yellow connector go now as the Corbeau seats don't have a separate base?

First photo below is of the new seats and 2nd is of the old seat base where the yellow connector went previously.

Heated corbeaus still have two connections as the back and base are both heated.

Tbh youre best off using the corbeau loom as they are two stage not just "red hot"

Thanks, after typing my post I decided to take the base and runners off the seat and found the yellow connector attached to the base. I've no idea why LRI don't connect this up before attaching the runners, would save me dismantling everything.

One down, one to go, when it gets lighter

Such lovely seats! Had them in mine for years, very comfy and held up very well. Been caked in mud and all sorts still look new after a clean.

Though I do lather them every few months with auto glym leather balm.

I paid £1,277.94 including shipping from LRI Solutions. They're the black vinyl with black stitching with runners and seat heating and that price includes the Defender2.net 5% discount (DEF25).

If I recall they're £180 cheaper without the runners and these bolt straight onto the existing ones.

The seat base doesn't come off, so if you need access to the battery its a case of taking the whole seat out. It's only 4 bolts though.

The seat belts are just as easy to reach as before, mine's a 2013 XS for info.

From my initial sit in the passenger side, they're a lot more comfortable and supportive so glad I made the purchase. I didn't attempt the driver's side as the car is off for some other mods on Weds and I didn't want to risk messing up the seat install and not being able to get there.
