Replaced passenger side headlight assembly, now to order the correct sport trim assembly for the drivers side.

Any reason you didn't get a matching black housing like the driver side has?

As far as I understand that’s not the correct headlight for the sport trim. Yes I could have went with the black housing and they would have then matched but I’m going to replace them both to what I understand to be the sport trim version…. Since that’s what it is.

Both are for the Sport; the change happened with the mid-cycle refresh in 2012(?). The chrome housing is correct for 2009 if that's important to you.

Just curious! But like @Drew21 said, the headlights are the same for Base and Sport. The only difference is 09-11 had chrome housings while 12-13 had black housings. But the black housings fit 09-11 just like the chrome housings fit 12-13. They're entirely interchangeable.
