Which bulbs for fog lamps ?

Hi and TIA.
I have a USA 2003 E320 and I'm trying to replace fog lamp bulbs as one has burned out.
Looking around,I've seen 2 different bulbs mentioned and it saying they aren't interchangeable. H11 and 9006.
Without having to pull the bulb out,does anyone know off the top of your head which bulbs it takes ?

Yeah,well guess what ? The manual says 9006.​​
I pulled the bulb to be sure and they're H11's bla bla
People couldn't even agree on how to access them on the web. I read there's a door you give a quarter turn to and you have to remove 8 bolts from the undercarriage splash guard..
it's why I asked the bulb question.
All I needed to do was remove one plastic rivet and one bolt in the wheel well.
But thanks for your insightful post.
