are they activated?

does he mind if they work or not?

if not - remove the bulb. :)

The lights supposed to go off if the ecu is reset. Disconnect the battery for a few hours. If the light goes off, bingo.... if not, there may be a fault with the new airbag :(

has he replaced the control unit as well ?

if so he'll still need the ecu reset to remove the

"BAGS HAVE BLOWN" fault code

personally i would get a 1551 or vag com check done to see what is causing the warning first
