Default Seat swap help

Just took the cloth seats out of my ram and replaced them with power and heated leather out of a wreck. The problem I have is the wiring. My ram did not have power seats so the only wire I have under my seat is for the seatbelt system.
I powered them so I could adjust them but how should I go about getting the heaters to work?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help

Can you go back and snag the wiring harness from the truck you got the seats from and simply plug that in?

What makes you think I'm a dealer? I'm just trying to get some help hooking up my seats and figured this was the place to get the help.
I worked at a dealer over 20 years ago but dont know how my name would give that away. Enlighten me

Wish I could. I got them off of Ebay and all I got was the harness under the seat with the cut wires hanging there. I was told by a friend at a dealership that the harness would be big bucks and would be better off wiring it up my self with my own switches.

OUCH metal sticking thru! Somebody has to hook you up with a seat!
Mine are gray also but I would prefer to sell all of them together. The leather ones I got from ebay cost me almost $300 just for shipping. They cmae from someplace out west but I dont remember where. They probably made money on the shipping though. If your interested let me know and I'll send some pics and call for a shipping quote.
