Default New HID bulbs dont fit???

I just bought some replacement HID bulbs for my foglights and the bulbs that I got (h11) do not fit. the ones that I have now have three little protrusions that come out which when i twist it into the housing it fits snug, but this one doesnt even have those three protrusions to make them fit. did I get the wrong bulbs?? I was told that all I needed were h11 bulbs. Now I have just wasted thirty minutes taking the bumper off.
