Can CLP or TLP headrests be installed on a CLS?

I heard somewhere that the CLP and TLP headrests tilt forward unlike the CLS which don't. Is it possible to install these headrests on the CLS?

thanks,

yes, they fit. And they do tilt!

BUT, the notches which catch on the height adjustment lever are not in the right place (on the pole). You would have to make your own notches with a dremel. OR You could also try replacing the pieces the poles go into on the seats. I don't know if this is possible though. But worth looking into

We test fit a headrest out of a 03 TLP into a CLS last weekend. Fit good.

Siggy so let me get this straight the grooves are on the wrong side why not just change the side the headrest goes on or do they have a specific side appointed.

The 99 TL headrests do not tilt. I think the 02/03s are the only ones that do. I don't like the 02/03s though, they are too tall. They look funny.

We thought of that too. But they are opposite on both sides, so ya they do have a specifc side appointed

I would try swapping the carrier the pole goes into. Although if someone could post the seat assembly one might be able to tell if this was possible.

Agreed. It doesn't look as "Sporty" as the regular type-s headrest. But it's actually functional! Unlike the type-s headrest. Unless you enjoy laying back while driving? having to look down to see out the windshield? Puts me to sleep. Nice having your head supported upright, especially for long trips.

The 03 TLP headrests looked OK to me.

siggy why didn't you and the the P owner take the headrest apart and experimented right there. come on Siggy sometimes you have to pioneer and make the path for your peers to follow.

I think the CL-P and the CL type S have the same headrests.
