Default Seat Heater Wiring?

Anybody have any pictures of how they wired their seat heaters. I'm having a hard time coming up with a clean method of running the wires and connectors to the seats. I'm also undecided as to where to put the switches.

Thanks

I used the seat heater wiring as received, added a 7.5 amp breaker for each seat, and put the switches in the bulkheads along the right side of my F1 Rocket.

The only other change I made was to splice a quick disconnect connector near the aft bottom of the seats. This makes it a snap to remove the seat for vacuuming, barf cleanup (happened once), or whatever.

The wiring runs under the floorboards and half of the connector is a panel mount style that stays put in the floorboard.
