Well I tried it with two 10ohm resistors.....if I were to use 5ohm resistor do I need four resistors...

We need to email TRD and tell them there is an interest in swapping out the seats. TRD makes a airbag light delete for their cars in japan that run the TRD seats. Be worth it to get them to do it here

Well,
Im screwed because I tired pulling out the passenger senor form them bottom and not its ripped. I tired putting back together and i it didnt work. So I'm fu@ked! Also, 5ohm resistor didn't work because the senor in passagner seat doesnt work.
I tired to make it work but I failed...I'm just going to find way a to seal this sensor from another tC something like that! maybe a new tC or wrecked one. I was also told that even with light the air can still deploy. So I'm not to worried about it.

Lol! No need for pics. 
2006xtC, if you don't have the seat airbags then you won't have the yellow plugs. You'd only have for the seatbelt, passenger sensors, and the driver seat position sensor. Just take out the passenger occupant sensors and the driver seat position sensor, then re-plug everything back.
I had the seat airbags on my car. So when I changed both seats in mine I just did the resistor bypass. Voila! No srs light.
Again, disconnect your batt first before tinkering w/ the airbags peeps!
