Default Replacing rear screen glass. Possible or not?

I'l' try and explain this the best I can. The rear window of my car seems to be the pre-facelift glass with the thick evenly spaced defrosting lines running across the width of the glass, like this one and almost every other car on the road:



Is it possible to remove this glass and replace it with the glass I've seen on most other D3s which has the 'invisible' heating elements with the lines packed close together? This rear glass also has a slight pink tint if I'm not mistaken.

So is it pretty much just a case of switching the glass, connecting the element plug again and away I go?
