HID help

just recently bought an HID kit. H11 bulbs but they dont fit my housing... did i buy the wrong kit or is there a certain way to insert the bulbs? the 07 Camry LE uses H11 bulbs right?


the HIDs may look bigger but they arent... it's just the way im holding it to take a pic.

Pictures didn't show. Always a possibility the bulbs' base aren't good quality or warped, or they may take some wrestling to get into the headlight. Do the notches look the same?
