Default Airbag light

Does anyone know how to reset the airbag light? MIne was on when I got the car back from Lexus - they claim that it probably wasn't on before, but since they change the dash bulbs it is now visible. Any ideas? Thanks.

There are a couple of threads on here about how to turn the light off. I havent been sucessfull...yet. I just need to give it another shot.
So why in the world would the dealership let you leave with the light on ?
I've been told that if the light is on, the system wont function properly.

Yeah do a search and it will tell you how to turn it off. It's all about speed. The how to says to wait a second in between the sequence but I found I had to do it faster.

Lexus claimed that since they replaced the dash cluster bulbs the the light is only now visible - inferring that there was a problem with the airbag sensor before. I don't believe them, I think they triggered the light during removal of the dash. They should've fixed this at the onset. Was not impressed with their service.
