Well as long as they are right just the switch (second one). But would suck if its the assembly and you have to return, then buy the 1st one. I would be safe and go with the first one (as long as your not on a really tight budget), ya never know how car savy these people are.

i just realized something... after i replace the ignition... i wont be able to use that key with the doors or the hatch, right? so then what do i do? would i have to go out and buy new locks for the doors and the hatch? or just keep the original key around and use that as the door and hatch...
