i don't see a problem with the bulbs, the bulbs are definitely H7, that connector is just connecting ballast to wires etc etc...
after your existing bulb comes out you have a similar ( ) shapped connetor, just connect like the diagram says, the bulb's button "plastic" part looks H7 to me

ok conclusion.....
i tired so many time forcing my HID base to my fog light connector, it won't work, i think that H7 i got has a long long base so the metal won't touch each other... anyway gotta give up on that...
