for safety reasons.There is a reason why there is no chrome emblem on your airbag. If you're ever in an accident and that airbag explodes that emblem will be permanently implanted on your face.

The difference is if you look carefully the emblem is not in the center of the airbag, it's at the top. The airbag splits in the middle when it explodes, it will not turn into a flying missile.
On your car the emblem would have to be placed dead center in the middle where the bag pops.

You are exactly correct. However, if I’m not mistaken, I've seen a blown LS airbag online somewhere, and it splits from those lines, and when it meets in the middle where the emblem is, it goes from under the emblem, and not through the center of it. However, don’t quote me on it, because I could not find that picture, nor can I guarantee that how it will go off everytime.
I knew the LX had the same airbag, and I wasn't even paying attention to where the emblem was on the airbag of the LX. I haven't paid much attention to my steering wheel for the most part, so I looked at the LX470, and knew it was compatible with the LS400 and assumed it was the same untlil I examined the difference.

You knew they had the same airbag?
It is not compatible with your LS airbag otherwise you would be able to swap the airbags out.
If you're thinking the only difference between the two airbags is where the emblem is placed you're wrong.

And for one that looks like the 2005 LX, I was meaning the 1998-2002
