I plan on taking out the yellow reflector from the light housing and was looking for some amber bulbs to replace the stock ones. Here is what I found.



These are silver coated but when lit produces amber lights.



More info available here:
http://www.eur.lighting.philips.com/automo...ts_sv_feat.html

They have a fitment for Euro S2000, but I am not sure if these bulbs will fit the N/A light housing. Besides they are not available for sale in U.S. so we have to buy it from http://www.fosmo.com or similar which is based in UK.

Specs:
Type: 12496SV
Volt: 12
Watt: 21W
Base: BAU15,s
Remarks: Silver Coated Amber Lamp
ECE: R37

Second option is Osram Diadem bulbs.
DIADEM lamps with the latest interference coating technology. When in use lamps provide an amber light for the indicator but has a bluish look when not in use.



http://catalog.osram.com/scripts/artikel.a...07LDA&tblid=693
Reference: 7507LDA (Osram product #)
International category code ECE: PY21W
Rated voltage [V]: 12
Rated wattage [W]: 21
Base: BAU15s

These are also available from http://www.fosmo.com or http://www.pgperformance.com imports them in the States.

I am leaning toward Phillips silver vision, but just wanted to know if anyone here had any more info on the size and the "base" of the stock bulbs.

I've cleared out my headlights and have replaced the blinker and parking light bulbs. The pictures of the bulbs you have there WILL NOT FIT in a NA S2000. Our bulbs are a push in style. Try this link: http://www.autodynamic.com/colored_bulbs.htm

The blinker bulbs are style 7440 and the parking lights are style 194/168

I have the Phillips bulbs pictured and the Euro clear corner headlamp aseemblies, now I'm just waiting for the aiming motors (the only way the US HIDs can mount in the Euro assemblies). I'll let you all know if the Phillips bulbs fit the Euro assemblies.

I've been following Shaner's lead installing the Euro clear corners, and his posts have been great. This is, however, a very expensive solution and probably not worth it for any but the most obsesses S2000 owners, a category in which I include myself.
