H11 Halogen bulb won't fit H11 LED connector

[odenspike]

Hi guys, I recently picked up a 2014 SR5 with 205k miles that I have been sorting out. I went to change the headlight bulbs just as a preventative and discovered they had some cheapo LED bulbs in there. I wanted to put the stock halogen back in because they didn't seem very bright either. But it looks like the housing has been replaced as the connector inside the low beam is not a stock H11 bulb connector. The LED bulb says H11 on it, but there is no "tab" in the middle of the pins and the connector is solid where there is no way to slide a stock Halogen bulb in it that has the "tab" in the middle of the pins. I have searched top to bottom trying to find either a replacement connector cable from the low beam to the engine harness with no luck. I also haven't been able to find a H11 halogen light bulb that doesn't have the tab in the middle of the pins.

Does anybody have any ideas?

My connector.

Stock connector.

Normal H11 bulb with tab.

I came to the conclusion that the only way I was going to fix this was to put a new H11 pigtail on to make the connector work. I ended up doing that in the short term, but in order to get the actual cable I had to buy some used headlights since the cable is not a separate part I could buy from what I could see. Just wanted to post this incase anybody has that issue later.
