you probably could if the company said so ... they probably konw what they're talking about ... just get them and if they don't fit send them back
The only difference is 1 is a 90deg & the other is a strait conector.We use the same bulbs in our Mack Trucks.If yours is the 90 deg,get that because of clearance problems.

No...9005 won't work for stock headlights...at all. It Doesn't fit and the gasket is in the wrong place.

Most HID aftermartket kits use semi-universal bulbs though; as long as you have an H9 or H11 collar, you could put it on a bulb that was originally for 9005 apps. I have done exactly that, but trying to use a 9005 kit for a G6 is not a good idea. Just go look at headlight bulbs and compare the bases of 9005 bulbs to H11s and you'll see what I mean.

It sounds like they are just out of H9 and H11 bulb adaptors. H9 can be modified to fit into H11 sockets if need be, but you shouldn't have to hassle with this if you have the choice of getting it write from the seller. Just ask for a refund!
