Default Airbag light

Hi guys I recently upgraded from a 94 Classic Turbo 2000 to a 2001 Bugeye WRX and it has an aftermarket steering wheel fitted so the airbag light is on. I have seen that you can make something with some resistors to turn off the light and keep the circuit running for the other airbags to function as normal but my skills with a soldering iron are pretty crap so does anyone have any pre made for sale or able to make one I can purchase?

Does the aftermarket steering wheel have an airbag?

Some places may fail it others mark it as an advisory. My mechanic I use overlooked it but I know there is a way to turn it off without pulling the bulb.
