Hello Guys,
I'm a new member and have been driving a 2001 V6 Camry LE. Just recently did my 90k major tuneup and timing belt change, then boom! Rear-ended a car in an emergency-stopping traffic on my way to work. Anyways, the damage isn't too bad up front, but the front and side airbags have deployed. I'm planning to just replace the two front airbags to reduce the costs, but even that is expensive. Luckily, I've seen sets of front airbags with computer from '98/99 Camrys for less than $200 on reputable auto parts sellers on Ebay. Here's my problem, I've been told the '98/99 airbags are different from the '00/01 airbags, so these parts aren't compatible. Can any knowledgeable member let me know what the difference are and what my options are to make things work? I was thinking, maybe I could use the '98 airbags and then have my '01 computer/module reset?
