Default Leather power seat upgrade, need power!

So I bought leather seats today for my adventure, they went right in and look great! I'll need to put a fuse in to get them working I'm sure.. but each seat has an extra plug and I have no plug to plug into it, so I'm guessing i'm going to need to run a power supply to get my seats moving and heated. Any ideas? Should I just used the power line right next to it that gives the seatbelt chim?

I can GUARANTEE you, the gauge of wire used for seat belt chimes will not handle the current required to power the seat motor or heating elements. Plan on running new wires. 16ga. will carry 20 amps @ 12v. For the few cents difference in price, I'd say, play it safe, and go with 14ga.

Edit: Just checked my owners' manual and there are separate fuses for the Heated Seats, and Power Seats. This tells me you should have TWO feed wires going into the seat for these functions.
