Yea it will fit. There are 2 different steering wheels for the GS. The 98-00 version and the 2001-2005 version. Make sure you get the 2001-2005 GS air bag.


1998-2000




2001-2005

ensure you disconnect the battery whenever installing/removing the airbag

Yes the 01+ GS air bag will fit the 02 RX. HOWEVER the air bag harness plug is not the same. I currently have the air bag from a 01-03 RX in my 00 GS with 01+ steering wheel and its a perfect fit. The 98-00 GS is a single stage air bag whereas the 01-05 GS is a dual stage. The 01-03 RX has the same shape as the 01+ GS however it is a single stage making it compatible with the 98-00 GS. Hope that answered your question
