Default 2003 Trailblazer tail lights on a 2002 Blazer?

I am looking to replace the tail lights on my 2002 blazer and found some on craigslist that were on a 2003 trail blazer.

Will these be compatible with my blazer? I have looked for specs online to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

By searching for both vehicles on advance auto parts website, it shows two different OEM numbers. If you take a look, I think you will also see they have different shapes from what I can see.

They're not interchangable. Different vehicles.

Thank you. I appreciate the help. So, what I can learn from this is when I am looking to change out parts; I should be looking at the OEM Number?

OEM number or part number. It's just a check on any auto parts store website. Example: Let's say you need to replace your lower control arm. Your vehicle is a 2002 and the junkyard has one from a 2004 that is a ton cheaper. Go to the XYZ auto parts website, do a search for a lower control arm for a 2002 Blazer. Write down the OEM number or part number. Then start the search over looking for a lower control arm for a 2004 Blazer on the same website. If the part has the same OEM number or part number, chances are you're good to go and the part is the same between the two vehicles.
