W126 Passenger Airbag Retrofit
Hello all,
Here's the deal - recently scored a very nice condition dashboard with airbag from a member here. My 560SEL has every single option except dual airbags. Whether or not adding the second bag is even feasible is what I wish to find out, I don't want to stir the whole debate about the pros/cons of airbags in general.
There are several questions I have...
1) Will the passenger airbag work with my SRS module, or do I need to swap?
2) Apart from the bag, the dash, and the passenger side ignition wire, what other parts would I need?
3) Should I just not do this because it could be unsafe? I've torn down and reassembled a W126 dash before, but never tried a conversion. Is it as straightforward as it seems, or am I playing with fire?
Thanks,
