Driver Lock Switch - difference 94-96 and 97-02? I need to replace the driver's side door lock switch in my 98 camaro.
From what I can tell the "94-96" version is readily available for cheap, part #10402836.
The "97-02" version, #10402840, is listed as discontinued on all the gm parts sites, only sources I found were a few on eBay for $40-$60+.
Some of the auctions note they're interchangeable, but there cosmetic differences. From the images they look about the same, anyone else been in a similar situation? Thinking about getting the cheaper 94-96 version.

I don't think they are too far off, the pictures look very similar in eBay listings, there seems to be some variation "teeth" in the key graphic. Not sure if there are slight differences in the shape or finish

Bought a 94-96 version switch, took a few comparison images for future reference. Older button is more squared off, slightly different icon
