    I bought the same thing for my 2012 and had the same problem. Can't recall who I bought from but an email to their customer service, complete with measurements of the original part and replacement part, confirmed that the bulbs were not right. They took them back and gave a full refund. Ordered another light from a different vendor and had the same issue. Returned them too.

    Apparently whatever Chinese factory is making all the bulbs for these resellers used the wrong mold. It may take a while to clear the inventory before anyone starts selling a part that will actually fit.

    Thanks for the info. I used the harness with lights that I bought that actually fit so I'm not so sure that they will take them back. I didn't know if they were meant for '05-'11 or not. I just hate to toss them out :(

    I got these too but I just jammed them in there and made it fit. They are made by a "company" called WinJet hence the WJ on the beginning of the serial number. They don't line up perfect but if you make them work they seem perfect from the outside.

    Also, when I got them on ebay, I got them for a Toyota Corolla because the fogs are the same for certain years. So maybe they took the corolla ones and tried to remarket them despite not a perfect fit.
