Yeh, Ross is right, replaced one on a MY00 and it's part of the retractor.

I think if the seatbelt lamp globe blows it causes the airbag warning lamp to illuminate. 96 Gx doesn't have airbags does it, neither does the 98 wrx....hence the difference.

Good point. Got me curious now as to if the models with air bags have the seatbelt warning light switch in the buckle or not. I would have thought that the inertia sensor in the retractor would be associated with the airbag system, and would have thought that they would still need the switch in the buckle to show that the belt is clipped in. I might have to investigate this somewhat now...

They also use a load (belt tension) sensor in the inertia reel...to time the triggering of the airbag so the airbag doesn't kill you......That's why there's an airbag control module and not just a pair of impact switches.
Remember that the later cars will also have a pyrotechnic pre-tensioner built into the buckle to lock the inertia reel instantly.

Some of the pre-99's had airbags as an option... wonder if these have the seat belt switch shifted over to the inertia reel?

Im pretty sure that the 99/00 wrx airbags dont have any seatbelt input, infact i know that a lot of cars dont. the drivers airbag deploys regardless. some even the passenger (cars without weight sensors)
The early imprezas did have the switch in the buckle, up to the my99/00 which has it on the belt reel. There is also no load sensing with the airbag system in the 99/00 impreza's. very basic setup. with front crash sensors, and a g-force sensor in the control module. cars that do have load sensing use a sensor to measure the seat rail position, again very rare. I dont know why people are so scared of srs systems. they are very basic and there really isnt much to them. they only go off on the right type of crash anyway. In regards to your light, what year is your car?
