Bucket seats do not have side airbags, so yes you will get that faulty airbag light on the dash.

Hopefully someone who did this will chime in and guide how to code it out.

You are essentially a Euro car, so you'll have to code the car for the Euro Performance Seats, which will tell the car to not look for side airbags, which is the real issue.

You can also hook a resistor (don't ask me what resistance) to the airbag leads, and that should kill the light. Macht Schnell makes a slew of products to help this install. I don't have bucket seats (yet) but I was looking and researching for a little bit.
