Seat: manual to power?
I have standard seats, power seat on drivers side of 98 C5. manual on passenger side.
I will be changing to 04 c5 sport seats, power on both sides.
How can I change passenger seat to power?
If too much work or not possible can the passenger seat be used manually?
OH YES!, are the electric hook ups on 98 C5 and 04 C5 compatible?

Good question, have a look on the floor to see if there is a pigtail power source on passenger side(as on powered drivers side) it would be ready for power seat install. I don't see why it would be different for these years. Just plug(if there is a plug) and play...

I did the same thing on my C6Z. I had to add a +12V power line from the under dash fuse panel to the seat. See if you can get the harness that goes from the fuse panel to the seat from the donor car if possible. If not see if you can get the connector that matches the seat connector. If you can't get either you will have to splice into the seat harness behind its connector. Other than that and getting the seat bolster controls wired up everything else just bolts in. If you have a Service Manual that shows the wiring diagrams you can figure out which wires go where.
