Sounds like a great idea Lexusboy...their only 99$$$ which is sweet. Can i just wire them up to the existing switch?? Or do you think i will run into problems with the high/low setting switch

I have them on mine they work very well and quick but that might be becouse I live in Miami. That's not true they worked well in Boston too. Maybe some lexus gs they work well and in others they don't. Anyway hope you fix yours let us know??

Hey have you been to http://www.katzkin.com ? If you look at their products they have a seat heater/ seat air-conditioner combo that seems like it might be a good idea

In my GS300 and in my friends older LS400 same thing takes a long time to heat up. The both cars were in family since brand new and before they were working great. You have to understand you car is 12 YEARS OLD and some things will stop working or it will work slow.
