Buy a new airbag seat

I need to buy a new airbag for my STI 06.
It is for the driver's side seat. Do I need to buy a module too ?
Does anybody know what the part numbers are ?

Thanks

Did the airbag deploy? If it did the main control module must be replaced.

Yes, the airbag seat has deployed.
Do you have any idea of airbag + module costs ?
I am not very interested in replace the airbag, but I dont want to see the red signal on the console. Is there any way to turn off the airbag display signal without buying a new airbag+module ?

Thanks !

Once any of the airbags have deployed the module stores a code for a deployment event. That code cannot be cleared or erased hence the module must be replaced. Replacing just the seat/airbag will not turn out the light.

I read some tips about a "3 ohm resistors" to turn off the light of the airbag.
Is this a solution to turn off the airbag for a deployed airbag seat or I need to buy the module anyway ?

Thanks for the info

The resistor is to electrically simulate the airbag when installing aftermarket seats that don't have the bags. It won't turn off the light on a deployed module, you still need a new one.
