How do I darken the Seats on my 05 KR

I have a 2005 F 150 King Ranch, Both front Seats are Turning very Light, I Used the Official King Ranch Brand Leather Conditoner when I bought the Truck New in July Last Year, I also Treated them Again three weeks ago after being out in Arizona for 3 Weeks, The Truck only has 11,800 Miles on it. I do not drive the Truck to Work, and She don't sit Outside all the Time, and at Night I tuck her into Bed in the Garage I built Just for Her.
The Drivers Side is Light all Over,More on the Bottom than the Back,
The Passenger Side is Lighter under the knee's{front} than the Rest of the Bottom.
What can I put on them that will not Hurt the Castano Leather and Darken them up a Bit,
Like the "Royal" Brown they Should be?
Thanks KR Paul.

I followed there Instructions, and also Did what King Ranch told me to Doo.
Do I possibly have Defective/Bad Leather?
I mean these Seats look worse than my buddys 2001 King Ranch.
Any Products out there Safe for the Castano Leather that will Darken them a Shade or Two?

Less than 3 yrs old, 36K, you should try the warranty route with the dealer - either premature wear/aging or a defective piece of leather. I had one the rear bucket seats on my 02 KR replaced under warranty because the leather was "splotchy" - dealer wrote it up as premature wear and replaced the seat cover no questions.

Yes they will lighten up a lot.only way to make them look like the day you drove off the lot is to have them sprayed like we did. do a search on dyed king ranch seats and look at the photos there.the number is on this forums you will see it on here. yes it works and looks great and last and we were very happy but sold it and bought a hummer.

I bought my 05 and the leather was tan from never being conditioned in the FL sun and heat.. I just kept conditioning them every night for a month with the KR conditioner and Zymol leather conditioner. After religiously applying generous amounts of conditioner and leaving it alone it looks 1,000x different than when I bought it but now its a Dark Brown color not like factory but I like it better than Tan

I recently also started using leather CPR and it is amazing It can be found at Bed Bath and Beyond and is a great product. Not what I used to darken it in the beginning but would work well too.

Leather CPR will darken the seat up. It seems more greasy, but in a good way, than the KR seat conditioner. Leather CPR is the best in my humble opinion.
