Well here is the diy on headrest changes,
First get your self another set of headrests!

remove the originals, There is a small tab press in and extend headrest, after the last catch, keep lifting and pressing till the side is clear of the last catch. Next on the other spindle, there is a hidden release button. press and remove headrest all together. here is a picture of the hidden button.

After the removal, now the fun begins. These are injection molded headrests. which means they were easy too make, pita to take apart and put back together. I had too wash the replacements so this had to be done. First unclip the plasti sleeve.

Now shimmy the cover off one corner at a time a little at a time.

When done with the washing machine, replace the oem's with the replacement covers, again a little at a time. Note: because of the injection molding re insert the plastic then put the cover back on, it's a lot easier imo.

Again one corner at a time. not fun.

for some reason I thought he was sending you the entire thing, not just the covers.

Nice!

Well worth it considering how rare they are and nearly impossible to get, Plus the price was right. I ended up with a led third brake light a l/s headlight assembly,( I already have a r/s) And the embroidered headrests. All for 175.00
