Need help finishing heated/power seat swap. Almost done.

Hi, my wife was recently hit by a semi and destroyed our 08 Outback. Luckily she is fine.

 

We were able to find a nice 08 Outback to replace the totaled car but I am trying to swap all the seats because the wrecked car had heat/power seats but the new car does not and its a feature she really liked.

 

I have the job nearly complete aside from 6 wires that I am unsure how to connect. 4 wires to the power seat plug, and 2 wires to the harness in the center console that ultimately go into the switches for the heated seats

 

The new car does not have a vacant plug for power seats under the seat as I have read some people have.

 

I have attached some photos in an attempt to clearly illustrate when I am at in the process.

 

I am no good at reading a wire diagram and electrical stuff has never been my strong suit. Any guidance on how and where to connect these last 6 wires would be greatly appreciated.

There is a fuse position with a fuse in it for seat heat in the new car which was not equipped with heated seats. That confuses me.

 

When I swapped in the plugs from the old car's harness the number and color of all the wires were put into the color matching positions, what you see is what I have left. If possible I would prefer to be able to tie-in the un-accounted-for wires into something nearby (I assume they are power, switched power, and grounds) and install an in-line fuse holder if needed rather than to run wires up the center column, behind the dash, and into the fuse box.
