Swap manual seats for electric

I think I may have just made an expensive mistake, I purchased some leather seats for my Mitsubishi Outlander mk 2 which has manual seat adjustment, now the replacements have just turned up and they are electric, is it possible to fit them in?.
I'm not much of a mechanic I'm afraid so any help will be appreciated

Swap manual seats for electric

On ours only the driver side is electric, so you you may only have half the problem you thought! Often the wiring is in place

Just fitted passenger seat, as mentioned this is manual so no problem, but no wire for heated seat, driver seat has seat belt alarm and air bag wires only, so I'll see how much to get it wired up or just change the seat to the manual runners
Thanks for helping

Sorry to follow this up after so long - did you ever get this sorted and if so, how? I'm in the same boat, no pun intended.

Bought what was meant to be a leather manual set from breakers but they sent electric heated and when I queried insisted it was simply plug and play - since been told otherwise but too late to return.

Swapping onto the manual runner didn't look too easy, was it or did you find a way to install the electric?

Also, one of my concerns is the airbags going pop - did you need to disconnect battery before fitting?

Any help gratefully received.
