So I had to get the passenger side airbag and the driver side just because the passenger one was blown out and the driver side horn wasn't working as well. They were both from newer cars but it's the same plug.

The question I have is what I need exactly. I think it is two front sensors (black cubes in front of radiator), and the airbag control module if I'm right? The blue box under the stereo is the control module I'm assuming since it stopped beeping once I unplugged it. Probably should replace that light too

Just want to make this thing as safe as can be.

You are correct, those are the parts you'll need. Be aware that used airbag computers may not be good, some sellers don't test if the computer is good when they sell it. I bought four in a bulk buy and had to throw out two of them because they had been in a car which deployed their airbags.

Also, use electrical contact cleaner on all the connectors. The airbag computer will throw codes if there is 'high resistance' on a connector, and electrical contact cleaner will fix that code.
