Yeah. Works just fine. Every bulb counts 
The weight reduction really does help my car feels much better all over. I need to get it on scales to see just how much I've cut out. Even with the width increase of wheel and tire my setup is still lighter than stock, shocks are a little lighter, steering wheel is a few pounds, the Recaro is a little more, no passenger seat at all, gutted softtop is a big one especially when the HT is off, no spare tire, some of the trunk trim removed. A nice single exhuast is the last real big easy weight reducer I need to do. After that it starts getting much tougher and much more expensive.

What's your plan for the passenger side in regards to the SRS light?

I just got a nice scale actually and have been weighing stuff. Still amazed I saved 23lbs with the battery. Wheels and shocks are a pretty significant amount, brake rotors about 3lbs, exhaust will be significant, then header, and test pipe and intake to save a bit more weight on the front of the car.
The lighter my car gets the longer my brake pads will last!
Great excuse for me to spend money hahaha.

Congrats on the new seats, it's been something on the back burner for me, but I feel the time is slowly getting closer. Also would like to see if someone does figure out a way around the passenger seat issue, versus having to pull a light from the cluster. Keep the updates coming man, always look forward to reading your reviews.
