   there legal for cars up to a 2001 plate after that then there meant to be illegal, i have them on my O2 plate and tbh never had any bother and have heard the same from other people
   
   as for the steering wheel you can just unplug the wires from the airbag ecu, its located on the transmission tunnel under the carpet, it shouldnt fail though even if the light is on, its just annoying, i just taped over the ligh from inside the dials
   
   as for the other lights lew15 it wont fail
