Got a mate with an early bugeye wanting to change to bugeye wagon seats,

From memory I think the early bug saloons had airbags in the seats, can anyone confirm? Also guessing someone must have changed to the other style of seat without airbags?

Would appreciate any advise

 

My old bug WRX didn't have airbag seats, Just has the seatbelt warning light plugged in under the seat

 

Thanks for that, were your seats the non bucket type?

 

I have a x reg Bug and that has side airbags in the seats

 

The Euro-spec seats with adjustable head rests have airbags, the bucket style don't on the bugs

 

Thanks for the replys folks want to change airbag seats with bucket seats, has anyone done it & sorted out the air bag light to work properly?

Know for the steering wheel it's just a matter of taking a trip to Maplins & fitting a resistor

 

As the steering wheel its a resistor, no idea what size though.

You do know wagon and saloon rear seats are different..... fronts are the same though

 

Nice 1 thanks will have a play

 

Same thing for the seats, a 2.2ohm resistor. If you are scrapping the old seats, cut the airbag plug off, and solder the resistor to that, then plu into yhe oom under the seat. I used to have the resistors wedged in and taped up, but they would always give the airbag light.

 

Oops sorry about late reply & thank you

 

no airbags on my bugeye seats, they are headrest adjustable

im changing them for spec D hawkeye seats, i take it that is an easy swap?

 

Yep I just noticed the air bag badge on the side of my wrx seats

 

The spec d seats had air bags too, so it was a straight swap
