Most likely no - I tried to use Philips X-tremeUltinon 2 (H8) LEDs but I ran into the problem you noted - dust shield behind fog light housing did not provide enough clearance. But, there may be a brand that has a small enough heat sink.
If it's too large and you're set on a particular brand, you can make it fit by cutting out a small hole in the plastic for the heat sink housing to clear, but I preferred not to "modify" the car in a detrimental way as there were other options available.
I went with the Beamtech H8s (no protruding heat sink) and they've been going strong for ~13k miles and 7+ months now. I cannot differentiate the light color difference between Beamtech fogs and stock LED DRLs (halogen light assembly).
