Default Fog Light Bulb Change

So I've had my Lexus for a few months now and one thing I can't stand looking at is those dim yellow fog lights. My IS is the non-F sport model.

The stock bulbs are Osram H16 19W, which is are actually comparable to an H11 bulb.
Since it has such low Wattage I purchased some high power H11 30W LED bulbs 6000K, but it wont fit properly.
Have any of you had any luck with finding a perfect match? I've tried to fit regular halogen H11 and still have had no luck. The base looks identical but I can't fit the new ones into the housing.

I just installed the Piaa Ion Yellow H16s and I had no issues.

Try a dremel to shave bigger tab?
I tried a h11 2.5k noyka bulb and it would like on then turn off within 5 seconds. Probably too much wattage? I put in h11 5k leds and they work. But also have h16 2.5k noyka bulbs on my way so ill let you know how they are.
