4th Generation ES300 seats?

My friend found a set of leather ES300 seats, they're from a 2001. I figure, lexus is the same as toyota just "classier" so would those seats bolt into my 01 camry LE? My drivers seat is power with what i have right now but the passengers seat is manual.

I'm not too sure, but are there only two wires i'll have to run with an in-line fuse to get the power feature going on the passenger side? I put dual power leather seats in my truck which had no power anything and there were only 2 wires per seat i had to run out of the entire wiring harness on each seat.

Any ideas?

They should bolt right in, someone can correct me if wrong. But keep in mind that the 2001 ES has side airbags, so you will end up with airbags that are sitting there doing nothing. Shouldn't be an issue but something to keep in mind. Does your car have seat heaters?

Yep you'll have to wire in power to the passenger seat.

nope, no seat heaters on my car. I'm not worried about the airbags though. I'm not too sure but i think the seat warmer controls on the ES are on the center console so i probably wont hook them up but if they're on the seat then I will. Any idea on which wire is which just to make my job a bit easier when wiring them?

Best thing to do is try to get a copy of the service manual to figure out that is power and ground on the seat pin out. If not get a test light and power source and start plugging away.

If you're getting these from a junk yard car, try to find a 4th gen camry to do a "test-fit" in. Or see if they'll let you test fit them in your car first.

They bolt right in. Just don't forget to add a fuse to each circuit you add
