You have a couple of options, fit a resistor to fool the system into thinking it still has an airbag. I think I have seen them on Ebay.
Remove the bulb or as is probably part of the circuit board you could destroy it or cover it in some black heat shrink so the light is not visible. |

You'll want to plug in a resistor into the plug under the seat, something like this...

Regardless of the airbag warning light I'd be very wary of the MOT regs:
7.1.5 Airbags This inspection is for all airbags fitted as original equipment other than on Class 3 vehicles. An airbag fitted as original equipment obviously missing - Major Fail https://www.mot-testing.service.gov....ml#section_7.1 |
