I think the square ones were available in 1996. My friend got them from the Honda dealer (they were Genuine Honda too) for his 1996 EX coupe. I remember seeing the round ones in the 1998 Accessories catalog.

It would probably be easier to use yellow H3 bulbs by Raybrig, PIAA, Luminics, etc.

Ive got yellow piaas in mine. Its decent.
There have been several users here who painted the lenses yellow - just search for it.

The reason for yellow, is because the human eye is more sensitive to yellow light than blue or even white. Yellow creates more depth and definition on objects this way - so lots of fogs are already yellow (ie is300 and many many cars in france).
JDM would also be yellow (civic sir 96-98 squares)
