Hi,

Unfortunately, they are different and can be interchanged by design. The OEM part number for the trunk is 15822404. The OEM part number for the door is 15782681.

I don't know if you need them, but I attached the directions for replacing the trunk lid lock cylinder.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
