e63 hid fog install, major fault need quick advice on size

ive tried h11 and h7 , however both those sizes dont fit my 2007 e63. the store told me i need h11 but it didnt fit the harness. these are plug and play kits, i need the correct size hid to fit my foglights.

H7 halogen bulbs fit the housing. I do not know what HID FOG FITMENT would be. Hoen Xenonmatch plus H7 bulbs work well and the 80w are white w/ slight blue so they match as close as possible to the Xenons. Hope that helps.

PS.... Grab the base of the H7 bulb and pull out. Notice that the plastic portion stays and the bulb simply PLUGS into the existing plastic housing...

In this thread, link, you just bought a different W211. Which one do you own?

My owners manual has a section on bulb replacement. Doesn't yours?
