Here is what I bought. They are a direct swap into the stock s5 fogs. You have to reuse your original bulb in this housing. Lexus JDM Yellow Capsules Retrofit Fog Light H3C H3 HID Bulbs Toyota Supra Mkiii | eBay

RotaryResurrection has been around a long time and knows his stuff, so be glad he is willing to help you.
I couldn't find the right bulbs for mine either, but you can rewire the socket. You can use regular H3 bulbs and just ground the socket.

For the record, JDM fog lights do not have a yellow bulb in them. The yellow they illuminate comes from the reflective material at the back of the lens, not the bulb. I cleaned up mine before installing them.
Without them illuminated you can barely see the yellow on the back of the lens unless you hold them at the right angle. You can barely see it on the right side of the lens.
With them illuminated you can see the white/clear bulb shining in the center and outside the bulb the yellow is reflecting out.
Putting yellow covers over the bulbs will make them yellow, but I imagine a much more striking yellow than the JDM ones actually are. The yellow is very subtle and to be honest if I had the money I wouldn't pay what they are going for. But I got mine for awfully cheap so no regrets from me.

IIRC I got them from a forum member who was parting out a front clip. I think I paid $65 shipped. They were pretty rough when I bought them, but I was able to clean up most all of the swirl marks. They look newer than my headlights once I got them cleaned up.
You can put caps over USDM bulbs and make them yellow, but doing that doesn't make them identical to JDM...if that matters to you.
