Changing seats in a 2001 wrx
I've just bought an interior out of an sti version 7 to replace the one in my 2001 wrx, the thing is the front seats that are in it at the moment have side air bags where as the sti ones dont. So when i swap them over how will i stop the air bag light coming on? 
thanks in advance.
thanks in advance.

Try doing a search 
You need to poke a resistor into the socket on each side. From memory I think its a 3.3KOhm or something. Mine cost around 10p each

It sounds a bit heath robinson, but it works great and is virtually free - go do a search in interior.

How many "homs" should be in the resistor?
