   The air bag light will come on,you can either fit a resistor/s take out the light or tape over it.

   Thats just been stupid.
   
   Safer to disconnect the battery 1st then wait about 10mins then do it.

   that is totally stupid messing with the airbag without disconnecting the battery, I know its probably not likely to go off but on the off chance that it does and your sitting infront of it with a screwdriver or something in your hand it could end up pretty dangerous.

    For a start the torx bolts are t25 & secondly stupid boasting like that will earn you a bad reputation on here.
