is that a direct fit into the 07-08 T? if so then I would rather go with that.

Ok guys, ladies, gents, woman, 
I have pulled the bumper off, and wanted to install new LED lights as my fogs, well the kit that i got wasn't working, the line up for to put the bulb in it was off, and the LED head was long and it wouldn't fit for my fogs housing.
I will be getting an replacement, I just need to make sure I get the right size.
Is it 9006 bulb size and fitment, or is it H8 im very confused right now and would really like to know the correct size fitment or the correct size, number or whatever makes sans of the correct bulb would be great.
What I bought was 9006... BTW even though it didn't fit, i put them in to see how it will look, they look very bright and I'm sure it will look very sexy on the car... the back housing of the LED did not heat up at all, they have build in fan to keep them cool just to let you all know.
Please Help me out with the correct bulb size, I have 2007 Acura TL 3.2 Auto with A Speck package.
Thank You for the help.

2007 has lower fogs. you got 9006 (technically should have been 9005) which are the upper fogs on the 04-06 TLs (in the "DRL" placement)
That's why they don't fit
Fogs should be H8

I got these for my G37.
H11 LMZ PLATINUM HIGH OUTPUT LED HEADLIGHTS FOG LIGHTS - H8 - Fog Lights - Shop Bulb Type
The ones i linked are the newer updated version. The previous version that i purchased were rated at 2800 lumens and costed $100.
I had a promo code and got them for $80.
Before having LED fogs i had a HID kit for my fog lights in my TL. When i bought my G37 i transferred the HID fogs over because they both use H8 bulbs.
I eventually got tired of the slow warm up time of HIDS and the fact that my 5k bulbs looked more like 6k so i decided to give LED fogs a shot.
Definitely worth it. I got them in 5000K to match my osram cbi. They are instant on like every LED. No need for a 30 second warm up time to achieve full brightness and correct bulb color.
HIDs always have a ugly color shift during warm up.
Also with LED fogs you don't need a ballast. That's one less thing you have to mount. Also you don't need a relay harness (even though most people use hid in fogs without a relay harness)

Sorry i couldn't get pictures last night. It was raining non stop yesterday .
I can tell you for sure they are brighter than halogens. Halogens are like 1600 lumens and emit a warm color.
The ones i have are 2800 lumens and are very white no blue or purple tint (5000K)
Ill be going out tonight and will take pictures. Forecast doesn't show much rain tonight.

^^ those look awesome!
i would love to get a pair of those but my fog sockets as is already touch or nearly touch my CAI filter and these look like they extend much more further back.
and they also don't come in yellow which is what i've been running lately (nokya yellows currently)

looks awesome man, I am sick and tired of my HID ballast keep blowing up left and right (I did use relay harness and yes I did put electric grease between connection also the un-use OEM foglight connection got 3 layers of ziploc bag tighten down with zip tie and elevate on upper air box resonator).
