I have a 98 legacy gt, the seats have been replaced with outback manual leather seats, i assume the seats are heated there's a 3 pin connector coming from the back of the seat, if they are heated what do i need to set them up?

Make darn sure it's not an airbag lead, before you experiment!!
Boom! :-)
Poppycock! For it to do any damage, the airbag lead would have to come from the EXISTING wiring loom in the car, not the pigtail in the newer seat.
That said, be careful how you experiment, I wouldn't want to apply 12 volts to the wrong wire and burn up my new seats!
Does the airbag come from the SEAT on your cars?
Barry
Yup. Side airbag, bro.
You play around with those leads, get you big surprise, GI!
Oh..... I guess that would make for an interesting day.
I don't have side bags, but I always thought they came from above the windows, at the edge of the roof.

Depends on make & model. WRXs have SABs in outboard side of seatback. The owners manual even warns to not put jackets over the seatback, or any type of seatcover, as it might hinder the SAB inflation.
Interesting.
What about fat people? Seriously!
Barry
"Fat people, got no reason to live"...oops, no that's SHORT people, right?
The module is in the seat back, in the outboard edge. Presumably it deploys forward, probably kind of aiming towards the door mirror. I don't know how large it is, from top to bottom, or how far forward it projects.
I can't really envision someone obese enough to "fold" over the bolsters enough to block the bag deployment even sitting in a WRX seat...not for long, anyway, lol.
And definitely NOT in my WRX seats!!
