If you had airbags in the headrests and you replaced the headrests with ones without airbags, you are stuck with the airbag light being on. Your air bag system is now disabled and will not deploy in an accident.

Which is tied into the SRS system and it needs to see the headrests. Without the OEM headrests, your SRS system is disabled. I doubt there is a way to bypass this.
