Default HID fog light installation???

I have a 2008 Honda Pilot and I bought 2 sets of HIDs and was referred to get them both H11 bulbs. When I removed the stock plug from the head lights the HID H11 plug did not fit nor did it look like it would fit. I have done HIDS before in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was simple plug and play. I was wondering if I got the wrong bulb sizes or am I missing something to do during the install. Are the head lights and fog lights in fact H11's or are they something different, because everywhere I look they say H11. I am confused.
Thanks guys.

I know for sure that the headlights are H11, not sure about the fogs though.

You mean plugs to the OEM headlight harness? If so, I think you got the wrong ones then.

Both fogs and headlights are H11. All aftermarket HID bulbs have the same connector which goes to the ballast. The plug on the ballast determines which factory harness fits.

Pics of said HID kit connectors? I'm thinking you just got wrong end connectors and need to head over to autozone for new ones. Should be simple pin removal and reinsert.
