There is a good guide for swapping seats I've used. I'll try to find it for you.
My 99 has power seats, and the eBay seats are powered as well. I'm hoping they are the same plugs.

As for the airbag light, well, it's already on. The previous owner installed sheepskins to cover the seat damage, and he admitted to removing the seats to attach the straps underneath the seat. Airbag light came on immediately, and he just never bothered getting it reset.

I pulled the trigger on the eBay seats. The seller dropped the Buy-It-Now price to $550 including shipping, too good a deal to pass up.
