One on left is blown HID low beam. On right is HID I purchased for my after market fog lamps. I just don’t wanna year it out and blow anything. I have a coupe sets of the HID fog spares. Thanks

The fog and headlight bulbs are not interchangeable as they are a different base style,

the mounting base tabs are different, you won't be able to twist them into the housing and secure them in place. low beams = 9006 fogs = 880
