From what I can tell from the service manual, the front bags would still fire in a head-on collision. I'm reading now about how you might be able to wire in a resistor to fool the SRS-ECU into thinking there's an airbag there, so the light will shut off.
Edit:
It's looking for continuity between the two pins in the connector under your seat, with less than two ohms resistance. If you know what that means, you could try putting a 1-ohm or 1.5-ohm resistor in there (or a potentiometer dialed down to about that) and disconnect your battery for a minute to reset the SRS-ECU code that is stored. Then reconnect your battery and start your car. The SRS light should come on for a few seconds, then shut off.
The problem is, in the event of a crash where it tries to fire the side airbag, I don't know what the ignition signal is. I'm pretty sure it would fry a 1/4 amp resistor. If I were to try this, I'd probably build the resistor into a car audio fuse holder just in case.
As always with airbags, proceed with caution.
