Sorry I dont have the answer, but wanted to add that you may be interested in finding few more things then just the resistance in Ohms.

Wattage ... this will ensure the resistance can handle the current.
Type. Some are wire wound and some are thin-film.

The above factors seem trivial but since we are talking about personal safety, I would look into those too.

its most likely easier and safer to remove the cluster and remove the airbag light if you plan on running like that.

Ask for an extension due to mechanical failure.
