Finally getting around to hooking up my heated seats and was wondering if anyone has used the oem Toyota switches and what wires are what? Pics below if switch and wires.

I would recommend looking at the wiring for the rear window defogger switch in the factory electrical wiring diagram, and then confirming with a multimeter. The defogger switch likely works very similarly.

Cheers
 
That's a really good question, since I can't find that switch in any of my EWDs. I haven't used these switches but...
W/B is the ground
R/B is power
G/W is likely the relay input
and if this circuit has a thermostat or timer, that's what the G & W wires go to. Otherwise I wouldn't hazard a guess.

As @jonheld said, try that layout with a power source and multimeter and go from there, unless someone can come up with an EWD...
 
Wait, LMGTFY:
Seat heater install
He uses JDM switches, but this may provide some insight.

In the "resources" section, I uploaded a reference schemo for the JDM switches I used for my seat heaters, but they are different than the OPs switch.
Since his switch is ON/OFF with a light it should be easy to find the closure.
There might also be dash illumination if it has a second bulb. I would hazard a guess that the green/white and white/black would be dash illumination, but again, a multimeter will tell all. There should be no guesswork.
