I looked for those about 2 years ago. At that time I could not find a low beam. For the high beam I found the 4412A mentioned above, however it has screw terminals not the blade type, so you will need to make adapter wires so it will plug into the headlamp connector. I see you are in Sweden, but I would think your local auto parts store could get you the 4412A bulbs.

Here is pic of the adapter wires;

Why Yellow? Anything but clear will diminish the amount of light for use.

No practical reason to do it. It's just a retro-cool thing.

Do be careful with some of those lamps out there though. They may not have a suitable beam pattern for on-highway use.

That's why I suggest the film. Works over DOT/FMVSS legal lamps.

The yellow headlights in the day were for fog lights. They weren't worth a darn as brights just dims. If I remember correctly running them as brights was illegal becasuse they didn't give off the right kind and pattern of light.
