Ghostpopi is right, they are not ohmed. Don't buy them at the dealership! They are expensive and then they will have to be keyed and the cost of 2 with all the parts and keys are around $300. Don't ask me how I know that! The local parts store around here did not sell the lock cylinders except for the rear hatch. Junk yards would not sell just the cylinder out of the door but would sell the entire door for around a $100 each. It would have been cheaper for me to have bought a set of doors from the salvage yard and had a locksmith make me keys.

The kid that had the 96 we bought, locked the keys in the car and instead of getting a slim jim to open, he drilled out the door and rear hatch trying to get in and really jacks up the cylinders.

give them your VIN number and the key if you take it to a dealer. Locksmith should have the tools of the trade to do it as well.
