You need to get parts to convert the plug to work for the new fogs. I believe one is a h11 the other is a H6? you can get parts from eBay or I hear the local auto shop sells it as well.

I purchased the parts on eBay for under 10$

i had same problem with fog lights went to autozone and purchased kit for 10 dollars, the fog bulbs with m3 replica bumper are 9006. you have to cut oem connectors to get 9006 connector in place.
hope this helps.

innovative wiring sells a conversion kit that you don't need to cut your connectors.

I bought a - H8/H11 to 9006 Harness that was plug and play.
