Default Corbeau seats - need an answer on the resistor placement

Hi everyone, as the title states I have Corbeau seats in the car and have the 3.3 ohm resistors to place inline to simulate the resistance the seat airbags would provide. Does anyone have pictures of how you may have accomplished the task of putting the fuses inline?

I can splice these in no issue but want to get it right the first time. Trying to avoid buying sims but can do that if you guys have had luck with a certain vendor etc.

Let me know, thanks.

Assuming the resistance value you've stated is correct, there is no "wrong way' to wire a resistor into a circuit - resistors have no polarity.

The cleanest option is to purchase the other side of the connector, or maybe source them from your original seat, or a junk yard.

Thank you, I was thinking there was more than the two wires in that connector, but that is a great idea on sourcing the other side of the connector and building my own little airbag sim.

Thanks again!
