should be 4 wires on the 99 seat if i remember correctly while the fox is only a 2 wire connection. there are pics of which wires you'll need to connect to on the corral somewhere. just search cobra seats in the sn95 5.0 or fox section.

*edit: a 2min search on the corral yielding this.
rather than hacking the seats, i used wire and connectors from radio shack to connect the factory 2wire to the 4 on the 99 and up connector.
you get the idea

ON THE SEAT -
1. Remove the factory connector from the '03/04 cobra seats.
2. Connect both GREEN wires together. I used a crimp connector.
3. Connect a crimp connector to the BLACK wire.
4. Connect a crimp wire to the BLUE wire.

IN THE CAR -
1. Remove the factory connector from the seat power harness.
2. Connect a crimp connector to the BLUE wire (+12 volts).
3. Locate teh BLACK wire (GROUND), but DON'T Crimp YET!
4. Remove the factory seatbelt attachment from the car floor.
5. Disassemble the seatbelt and cut the 2 wires that connect under the console.
6. Check with a digital meter for continuity. One wire will have continuity to GROUND. Connect this to the BLACK wire and crimp.
7. The other wire from the seatbelt will need a crimp connector.

FINAL INSTALL -
1. Connect the 2 Black GROUND wires from the car to the BLACK wire on the seat.
2. Connect the BLUE wire from the car to the GREEN wires on the seat.
3. Connect the seatbelt BLACK wire to the BLUE wire from the seat.
4. Finish bolting in the seat.
