Default swapping out my 06 GT seats...questions

i may be buying a full set of front and rear seats for my 06 GT. Mine are tan leather and i'm getting black leather out of an 05 GT (i hate tan leather). got a few questions tho...

1st - the ones for sale have air bags and mine don't. can i set the bags up to work in mine? if so... how difficult would it be to wire up? could i do it myself or would it take a professional to do it? or can i just install without having them powered?

2nd - my Gt doesn't have power passenger seat but the one i'm looking to buy does. how do i get power to the passenger seat to get the power seat working? the other thing i was thinking is can i just set up the seat on my existing track without the power?

any help is good help. thanks bros.

Don't plug in the side air bag! A friend did it when he put some other seats in, tripped the light on his dash and had to go to the dealer to get it shut off.

The side air bags use a separate 2-pin connector under the seats. If you don't have airbags, you'll have a yellow plug already connected, leave it in and do not plug in the 2-wire connector under the new seats.
Power for passenger side is a different story.
