2016 c292 headrest swap question

Hello all,
I have a 2016 63s coupe that has the multi contour seats. I came across the AMG embossed headrest and wondering if I can simply swap them out?

Embossed headrest, will be swapping out hopefully

Update

So I received the new headrest… but completely forgot my seats are smooth while the embossed headrest are textured… but anyway I’m still going to pop them in.



New headrest

New headrest

Front passenger back panel To remove lean seat all the way forward, remove two screws at bottom. Grab bottom left corner and pull repeat on opposite side (felt like I was going to break them) do not pull down until bottom section is free

Back side of back panel

One of my top clips broke

This one almost broke

In case you need the part #

On to the headrest itself… it seems there’s only clips holding it in place within the motorized lift

Same on both sides

Headrest motor is behind grey flap… just follow the wire

Test fit

Be careful not to lose the retaining clips when removing they will pop and fly away

Driver seat with factory headrest

Passenger seat with AMG Embossed Headrest I’ll color match it later

I used a red fabric marker… color didn’t hold as well as I would have liked so I blacked it all out
