Race seats / AIRBAG

Going for a light race seats install in the 2012 LS
Brackets exist at Corbeau / Sparco etc.. Seats are a personal choice and a straightforward matter...
But what about the airbag syst. when swapping race seats?
What needs to be done (purchased) to keep the airbag light off and keep the in-steering wheel + in-dash passenger airbags operational?
Heard about a resistance to be plugged in the harnesses and a pressure pad to be inserted in the race seats foam...???

Thank you Black Boss,
So the roll gel pad is positioned to sense the weight (compresses) once a passenger is in the seat?

If you want to retain an operational passenger air bag, you'll need to position the gel pad (flat, not rolled up) between the seat cushion and the bottom of the seat.

In my case since I removed the passenger air bag, I just rolled up the gel pad and taped it to the seat base.
