#1. Grab the nearest phone book.
#2. Look up "Locksmith's".
#3. Call them and ask.
#4. Drive to their place of business.
#5. Done.

As far as I know, due to the actuating arms and tabs on the lock itself, the key cylinder is not an universal part, so you'll need to get these from a junk yard or... from the stealership, which won't be cheap. I actually have a full set from a parts car, if you need it, it includes left/right doors, and ignition, as well as one key. PM me an offer if you're interested. Hope that helps!

avoid the dealership at much as you can. I ordered a complete set once for a customer and it took almost a month to get them!

like Thatguy said... hit up the local smith and see what he's got with him.
