Default Removing Airbag Light w/ Aftermarket Seats

Help!!!! I just got new Bride seats installed in my car driver and passenger, and once I replaced the driver seat, the airbag light came on!! Does anyone know how to remove this?

I did a lot of searching on here and I found a thread where it showed pictures from 2007, but the pictures are no longer up!

^^ That's the post where it has instructions but with no pictures.

Any help will be appreciated!!!

What I did was just stick the sensor back into my seats. Now granted I dont have brides, I have megans, the concept is the same. Just put the sensor back in around the area where it use to be. Tape it, zip tie it, whatever works. I had a little crevice that I shoved my sensor in so it was nice and hidden. Worked for me, worth a try right? GL!!

the stock sensor on the driver's seat should be put back on the new seat rail, you will basically have to line it back up approx. the same area as it was stock. Drill the holes for the screw and the hole for the plastic pin on the back. Plug it back in ad the light should go off. As far as the passengar seat you will have to take out the sensor from the stock seat and put it into the new one otherwise it won't be able sense that there is a passenger, hence in in accident....
