Did you have sport seats before? all you should have to do is plug in the small green plug from the seatbelt to the main harness. that is what i did when i had my 2000 C2 with GT3 seats.

you still need to have the airbag light reset, by a dealer or durametric software... you should of installed everything first, then turn the ignition on... this way the airbag light wont turn on.... btw, since its a hard switch there is no polarity, will work no matter how its put in.

I belive when the light is on the front air bag is not working so if you want your passenger to have the benefit of a bag you should re program. You may have a problem finding a dealer who will do it because of liability. also do not know if your car is under warranty but that may void parts of your coverage. I have the seats to yet to install this is all the stuff i am thinking about.
