seat air bag is where?

friend got me some nice coverking seat covers for christmas, and i'm trying to see if they made them right....
Which side of my front seats have the airbag deployment? is it the left where the 'airbag' tag is? or the right, where coverking put the cut out space.

I would imagine its the outside thorax bolsters for the front seats. Thats where most side bags are for seats.

that'd be my guess, so either they put the 'vents' on the inside by mistake or the cut the hole for the back seat access on the wrong side

Yes air bags are toward the outside of the car, if they were on the center side they would not do any good.

Is it possible that the seat covers themselves are put on the wrong seats? Maybe the passenger cover was put on the driver side and vice versa?

im going to double check later today, make sure it wasnt twisted up or something, but when i test fitted one, the hole for the back seat access lever wouldn't match up if i switched it to the passenger seat I don't think.

Not to get off topic but has anyone tried these? Mine is coming with the Leatherette and I just want something thats not cold to sit on in the winter and hot during the summer time. Other than that the leatherette seems fine.
