Default 93 and 95 airbag swap = airbag light

should swapping airbags (both driver and passenger) between a 93 SC 300 and a 95 SC 400, be a problem? i thought it would be a straight swap. well, now i'm getting the notorious airbag light

You might wanna do a search for resetting the airbag light. I think there's something out there. Goodluck!

I doubt you will have a problem. They wouldnt make diffrent airbags for different years. I could be wrong, but im almost a 100% im right.

U need to get a reset tool and reset the codes. I did this on my M3 and it cost me a 100bucks to reset, but I was dumb and went to the stealer ship. Any good shop around your area will do it for around 40bucks.
