Default How do I wire aftermarket seat heaters?

I'm about to buy and install seat heaters from heatedseatkits.com. I want to do the installation myself because I don't want to pay someone else to do it.

However, when it comes to actually connecting them to the power source their installation instructions simply say, "Connect the last two open wires to the car power supply of 12 volt DC. Connect them to a switched terminal capable of driving 10 A continuous current."

That's a little thin given my ignorance. Can somebody please tell me where to find a "switched terminal?" Do I wire into the fuse box or what? When you reply please assume I don't know jack about this.

Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.

Tim

Wire it to the fuse box, find a ignition power (so when you turn the car off the seats are off). Make sure the system you are tying into has a 10amp or higher fuse and wire another 10amp fuse between the system tie in and seat heater. Run from the switch to ground and your done. They have a wiring diagram on the 7th page of instructions in html format.
