You have to remove the seat back cover and then remove the 2 nuts securing the air bag. Make sure the electrical system is fully disconnected.

My car doesn't have power seats but the ones im buying are power. Is it hard to make my car work with the power seat? Or should I make the seat manual?

to wire it oem ish than yea prolly alot of work..but if you want them just to work than find the correct pin out on the plug that makes them slide,recline ect..and hook them up to a 12v source when your ign is on..put a small like 10amp fuse inline just to be safe..or w.e the factory one is..i cant remember off hand.

This. There are only a few wires you need to give power and ground to to get the seat to move, the rest are for seat position memory (driver 1 & 2 BS).

Blue and red wires are power, black is ground. Both power wires need a 20A fuse and I'd use some 16 gauge or thicker wire. I wouldn't mess with the heater, if it has it. Be smart, use a relay. You can grab a key-on signal in the radio harness if that's easiest.

I do have a spot for it on my fusebox, maybe I can connect them to there?

Not likely I only have one plug for the drivers seat belt going to the bottom of the Captains chair.
