Can’t say for sure, but I looked at Phillips, Syneticusa, and Sylvania sites and have not found any cross reference chart showing H11s fitting your 899 bulb socket. IIRC you can use 9005s which still should boost up your lighting. You'll just have to make sure the aligning of the light does not put it in the eyes of oncoming drivers.

OEM fog light bulbs are 899. To be plug-and-play, replacements should be 800 Series

RadioFlyer's fog lights are the best....$60.00

I've tried numerous LED's for the low/high beam but they do not play well with the lens on the stock housings. While they are definitely brighter, there is no focus and the light is scattered.

I installed them and because they are so bright, I almost do not have to turn on my low beams.

These are the LED bulbs I run. They have been great and are as bright as most cars' normal low beams. I have driven using my fogs as low beams & kept the lights down on several occasions just to test.

Yep... they're $12. But if you can justify blowing $60 on a pair of nearly identical fog light bulbs, then whatever floats your boat....

Important note: they are easier to replace than the service documents suggest. I was about to take my car into the local hobby shop 'cus I don't have a jack. I wasn't looking forward to a multi-hour project. Then I googled and found this video where he does it in a couple of minutes.

tl;dr pop the headlights up, pop the hood, turn the foglights off, reach down next to the open headlight (on the center side) and remove/replace the foglight from there.

That looks like it will blind everyone due to the light scatter

Could you post pics of the LEDs you got from the auction site? It almost sounds like they may have sent the incorrect size if the bulbs do not fit and they don't have the correct connectors.

They look just like the ones in post #7 without the connectors, I contacted the seller and was told that's the way the come, they do have a bayonet on each lead. The big thing was they won't fit the socket, they look similar to the stock bulb but are different enough so they will not fit, believe me I tried. so save your money and go with Raidoflyer, I have his DRL switchbacks and tail light bulbs and couldn't be happier, he has the GOOD stuff !
