Lukey. 381 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 if you arent fussed about fixing it properly and just want the light out you can easily take the front off the airbag light cover, its a small capless bulb, just bend the contacts to 90 degrees and wrap the bulb in black electrical tape and it wont shine through the translucent area that lights up any more.That way you still retain the ABS warning light, which is always a good idea as ABS faults you really do want to know about and get fixed properly.
