Heated Seats Installation - US Model 2009 Lancer GTS

I know heated seats are not an option for the 08+ lancers in the US, but they are available for the canadian models. I am looking into installing aftermarket heated seats in my new lancer. I want them to be just like stock though, so I would need the OEM switches which are mounted just in front of the arm rest in the canadian models.

Has anyone attempted this? Where could I find the part number for the switches. I want to purchase them and determine if myself or a professional should do the job..

Here are some pictures of a canadian model with leather and heated seats. You can zoom in and see the switches I am talking about. Where can I buy these??

I was just at the dealership, and they were selling the heating element for 1 seat
for $149.00 CDN. Marked down from $245.00. Don't know how much the
switches are. Dealer is Southside Mitsubishi in Edmonton, Alberta
780-465-5252, www.southsidemitsubishi.com .
Hope this helps.

I bought the switches on the OEM Parts Catalog online for about $50 USD. I wonder if I coule buy those heating elements from your canadian dealer and have them shipped to me here. Then with the switches and the heating pads, maybe my dealer here could install them... Do you recall if the wiring was included with the heating elements?

I was in the dealership yesterday. The parts area was closed, but from what
I could see in the display case, they don't come with the wiring harness.

I got two quotes in the Boston, MA area for about 400 to do the install, that includes the heating elements, I just supply them with the switches.
