Yeah man, that's a big bummer. Very frustrating I'm sure... make sure you post your findings.

Here is a quick teaser...
Recently installed new leather with heated seat elements.
The heated elements are wired into the power seat plug under the bottom cushion. Then I extended the wires for the switches and plugged them into the factory loom.
Works great!
Stock switch with extended wires
Plugged into the factory loom. The low lights up green, the high lights up orange.
Finished Product... love how clean it looks!
Here is a video review of the outcome!

Need to do this!
Quick question on the seat warmer switches.
My driver side Hi and Lo function is switched around. It warms up more when on Lo. Could it be the switch itself?
I think the wiring has nothing to do with it.

It would have to be the way you wired them up. I am betting you just have the low heat on the switch wired into the high wire in the loom...
The switch does not control the voltage? Something else does?

No the switch controls the path of the voltage.
That's bad news then, trying to figure those wires out and reverse their position in the socket sucks. 
I didn't do the job wiring everything, I just plugged everything in.

That's very nice. So where did you get the seat heater switches from (part numbers?) ?
That and which heated seat elements did you use?
Here are some great threads with a lot of the information you will need:
Seat Heater Switches
Heated Seats on Way, Question on Switch
Here are the two different types of switches:
Veritcal:
Seat Heater Switch Left side 80 Series [84751-60020] - $79.99 : CruiserParts.net, Toyota Landcruiser Parts
Horizontal:
Toyota JDM Seat Heater switches
Hope that helps
I plan to do a full write up/review eventually in a separate thread... this was just a little teaser.
EDIT: HERE IS A FULL WRITE UP ON THE INSTALL OF THE HEATED SWITCHES!

Cool, thanks for making my upcoming interior redo easier!
Does this mean that much like adding the CDL switch, the wiring likely already exists in my 97 to add seat heaters?
There are already plugs in the wiring loom underneath the center console in all of the trucks.. so in that sense yes.
You need to buy the switch, and then wire in the heater elements to the correct pins underneath the seat bottom.
If you refer to the links I referenced above it makes installation pretty simple.
Here is a picture of the wiring loom plugs under the center console.

Couldn't you just pull the switch, plug the "high" wire onto the high side and the "low" wire onto the low...
Sounds to me like these are just on the plug backwards.
