Fog light question

I am getting different bulbs for my fog lights. I know they are H11 but do I need H11 "fog" light bulb or is any H11 bulb ok. Can I use the same bulb in my fogs as in my headlights?

What I am trying to say is: I need H11 bulbs for the fog lights. Do I need to get H11 "fog" light bulbs that are a little smaller/ or can I just get regular H11 headlight bulbs to put in.

I believe H11 is H11 there is no H11 for fogs or H11 for headlights, unless you have seen otherwise. All H11's should be identical bulbs as far as size, fit and wattage goes. Correct me if i'm wrong

Thanks for the reply Im still not sure. When I look for bulbs sometimes I see "fog" light bulbs. They are usually smaller than headlight bulbs. I think there might be an issue with space from the fog light cover to the actual bulb. I have found "fog" light bulbs in H11. I just dont want to get the small bulbs if I dont have to. I might just get both and see what happens when I actually get to the fog light. Ill post some pics so you get a better idea.

This pic should clear it up. All 3 of these bulbs are H11. 1 is for high beam, 1 is low, the other is fog. So I am starting to think I need H11 fog light bulbs. For some reason I thought regular headlight bulbs would work but its not looking that way. Let me know if you find out otherwise. Thanks
