your air bag light will come on but you can easly take the builb out, i would think most of our cars with airbags wont work now unless they have been serviced at some point

its a mot advisory i think if the airbag light is on (if i have remembered correctly) but there is things like the abs light on is a mot fail. just be carefull when removing incase it goes off (never seen one go off by accident) and when not connected to anything as IT IS GOING TO HURT!
