Straight from the Integra Factory Service Manual:
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Connect the short connectors (RED) to the airbag side of the connectors:
Drivers side:
Remove the access panel from the steering wheel, then remove the short connector (RED) from the panel.
Disconnect the 3-P connector between the driver's airbag and cable reel, then connect the short connector (RED) to the airbag side of the connector.
Passenger's Side:
Remove the glove box damper, then remove the glove box.
Disconnect the front passenger's airbag 3-P connector from the SRS main harness and connect the short connector (RED) to the front passenger's airbag 3-P connector.
3. Remove the airbags:
Driver's Side:
Remove the two TORX bolts using a TORX T30 bit, then remove the driver's airbag assembly.
Passenger's Side:
Remove the four mounting nuts, then lift the front passenger's side airbag out of the dashboard.
NOTE: Do not confuse the lower mounting nuts with the upper mounting nuts. The upper mounting nuts are not self-locking.
4. Install the new airbags:
Driver's side:
Place the driver's airbag assembly in the steering wheel and secure it with new TORX bolts.
Passenger's side:
Place the front passenger's airbag assembly in the dashboard.
Loosely install all four mounting nuts.
Tighten the upper two nuts first, then the lower two nuts. Adjust the lower mounting bracket if necessary.
5. Remove and properly store the short connectors then reconnect the airbag connectors.
Passenger's side:
Remove the short connector (RED) from the front passenger's airbag connector, then connect the airbag 3-P connector to the SRS main harness 3-P connector.
Then reinstall the glovebox on the dashboard.
Driver's side:
Remove the short connector (RED) from the driver's airbag connector, then connect the airbag 3-P connector to the cable reel 3-P connector.
Attach the short connector (RED) to the access panel, then reinstall the panel on the steering wheel.
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. After installing the airbag assembly, confirm proper system operation:
Turn the ignition on (III): The instrument panel SRS indicator light should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off.
Make sure both horn buttons work.
Take a test drive and make sure the cruise control set/resume switch works.
I don't think you need to replace anything besides the airbags. If you want some pictures to help you visualize what I just said, the Integra service manual is available in PDF format here: http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/m...ce%20manual.pdf. The SRS system is covered way in the back.
