   on the side of hte seat there isa whole at he back it hasa torx screw in there take it out take of hte plastic bit.
   
   then unbolt the tensioner.
   you can do one of two things.
   
   eitehr tie wrap the tensioner under ur seat (attach it to the subframe)
   
   OR get a 15amp fude have cables coing from them and put the cable ends into the orange plug this fools the airbag ECU and thinks its ssll connected.
   reason for this way of doing it is so you dont have the full tensioner under ur seat lol.
   
   
   but play it safe just tie wrap it tbh.

   in that case dude just tie wrap the tensioners to the sub frames once you have the seats fully fitted.
   make sure the orange plug is still in them tho.
