Default Airbag light with racing seats

So i have racing seats and harnesses in my xa and I have the airbag light on, to fix most of the problems I have taken the wiring harness off the stock seats and left it connected under my racing seats, (so I have the belt buckle buckled under my seat). for the passenger side all there is is the weight sensor and the buckle so I have both taken care of. On the drivers side its more complicated and I am having trouble figuring out how to wire it up so that my airbag will still work. In the mean time I was wondering if since I have the airbag light on if that means the WHOLE airbag system is shut off or if it is just one specific airbag. It seams to me that it would be stupid for a company to make it that if one airbag is not working then all of them wont work. Its a weird idea because it could put more peoples lives in risk.

Does anyone know if the airbag light means ALL are offline or just one?
Also does anyone know how to wire up the drivers side so the airbags work?

You can substitute each load sensor with the resistor. I believe factory repair manual has the correct values, just need to find that. Also the driver's seat has the position sensor- not sure if the resistor will work or you need to mount that sensor to the new seat frame.
The SRS system will most likely function in case of the collision.

Any pics of your seats installed? Would love to see your set up since not too many people take the time to put them in

yeah no problem, it took some time to install because I had to make custom brackets for my seats.

I think Micro Image Online sells some plug and play fixes.
