METHOD ONE - expensive
Go to your Toyota dealership and buy the "worm" from the steering column. This will give you the harness you need to hook up to those prongs in the airbag. I don't think you can actually swap the worm. So you'll have to cut those off the harnesses and splice them into the wires coming from your steering column. The worm should be at least $100USD.

METHOD TWO - ghetto
If you can find some connectors to hook up to those prongs in the airbag, then you can splice it to the wire coming out of the steering column.

METHOD THREE - even more ghetto
If you can't find connectors that are compatible with the prongs in the airbag, then you have to weld a connection on, and use regular electrical connectors to connect to the wires from the steering column.

However, figuring out which wire goes with which will be a challenge. Remember: DO NOT USE A VOLTMETER ON AN AIRBAG BECAUSE IT NEEDS VERY LITTLE CURRENT TO ACTUATE. If you made the wrong connection, it will not go off, but will set off your airbag malfunction light. Resetting should be simple. Also, when using the electrical connectors, remember to not let the wires come into contact.

Lastly, for methods two and three, when using wires that are not Toyota spec, remember how sensitive Toyota systems are to different resistance.
