Isn't there a link on this somewhere? I know I read years ago that I can convert a passenger seat to a driver seat.
Aside the hole for the armrest the seat COVERS are same.

In theory it should work, you would just need to swap the trims that hold the seat controls, as well as re-routing the wiring harness a bit to accommodate it. Physically, the seats are pretty much the same.

I did something similar on a set of manual sport seats from the UK and had to convert the UK driver into a passenger and vice versa. The only change I remember physically was an under brace I had to drill out and swap because it wouldn't allow my first aid kit to go on the new "passenger" side. Granted I have not done this on electric sports, although I did use my leather, foam, and heated seat elements on the manual frames. Should be doable and a good time to replace the seat shocks and tackle the cable issue and add in anything else you want, I added power lumbar.
