Narva Gold. They can be found at M/C dealers. Ask them to look in the Tucker Rocky catalog.

From what I know, motorcycles don't use yellow bulbs. I checked this out on a bike at my tint place and what it actually is is a yellow cover over the bulb. You could always just tint your headlights yellow too if you want.

Well, there is what is called a halo that m/c guys sometimes put over the bulbs. There are yellow/gold bulbs, like I stated above, and they will fit Hondas fine. Most late model sport bikes use the H4 bulbs just like we do.

EDIT: Because I care....er..whatever, I did a search. http://suvlights.com/ has them under Halogen Bulbs-->H4-->Gold / Yellow. There is also a thread on the narvas already: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=840930

But wait, there is more!
Taken from HIDForums:

Yellow fog light bulbs
Yellow bulbs was mandatory in headlamps in France for many years. They supposedly creates bigger contrasts in less visibilty. Today its only found in fogligths. Automotive bulbs with actual yellow glass envelopes aren't made any more. Cadmium was used in their manufacture, and is now outlawed, having been identified as a carcinogen. Today's coated bulbs are a poor substitute for the original. The best bet would probably be to look on the on-line auctions, since somebody may still have a stash of these old bulbs. Expect to pay big bux.

Here is a list of yellow bulbs in production today:
Narva Gold (Yellow)
Hella Yellow Star (Less Yellow)
PIAA Ion Crystal (Yellow) (use search engine: "PIAA H3 Ion Crystal" will give many results)
PIAA Ion Yellow 2300K (Yellow)
Philips WeatherVision (Less Yellow)
