Default Swapping Headrest on a RX400h

I'm currently looking for two front headrest on a RX400h. The headrest that came with the car *used* is too loose for it to stay in place. Does anyone know what other Lexus share the same headrest as the RX400h (other than RX350 and 330 - I assume they are, but none of the local junkyard carry them)?
Would it be advisable to just buy off from eBay (but I'm really worried that it won't fit correctly just like the current one)?

Maybe this would be a good opportunity to upgrade them to some DVD headrests. I've seen a few on 400h's, so I know they make them and they fit great. Anyhoo, maybe an option to consider if you have young ones like I do.

I actually did think about that at one point! But I don't really like the idea of having a monitor behind my head...

There is a chance the pin sizes for the headrests are different based on if the RX was made in North America vs Japan. The RX400 is made in Japan and the pins for the REAR head rests are different than a RX350 made in North America. The front headrests may have the same issue. Just something to keep in mind.
