Default Headlights don't work + airbag light

i tried the headlight switch article DIY http://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec114.shtmlbut this didn't help turn my lights back on... My low beams + fog lights/ rear fog light does not turn on, EVEN on the interior central display.... my highbeams work when i pull towards me but not when i push away... and the corner lights next to the headlights are still working... checked the fuses, they're ok... After the DIY i noticed that my airbag light is on... I know that I put the airbag on properly along with the connector. How do I reset this light? Can I do it with the OBD II? All help is appreciated!!!

Sounds like a bad headlamp relay, but I work on Toytas so I'm not sure. I would guess that you broke the spiral cable when you did the diy and you won't be able to shut the light off without replacing it (just a guess).

i did a hid uprade to my car a few months back and after i got done the air bag light came on. is there some sort of sensor up by the headlights that i may have bumped that would cause the air bag light to come on?

in my passat the headlight relays wher behind the fuse box, if you take the cover off and look past it through one of the openings they might be in their.
