Angry HID conversion kit wont fit!

Hey guys i purchased an HID kit and i made sure i got 9006. The problem is the bulb wont go in. The shape of the locks are totally different from stock. I made sure i got 9006 what can i do? im not to mechanically inclined but these should of been plug and play. They work and look great but i wanna see them on the car.
