Help me identify yellow driving lights (not Fogs)

I know this topic has been written about over the years but I just haven't been able to find a through explanation or list. I'm looking for and would like to mount round amber driving lights behind my grilles. To be clear I don't want fogs because of how they dissipate light. What I want to do if identify all available round driving lights that are yellow. Also ideally they shouldn't be too large to fit behind the grills. 

 

I'd love to build a list for all of us to enjoy and use as a reference. If you can, please provide the make and model descriptions. Photos are also a plus but not necessary. 

 

To get this list started and thanks to Schickentanz:

Make: Marchal 

Model: 812, and 712

 

Thanks all!

Thanks all for your inputs. This is a great start. I managed to find a set of amber Cibie 40 for sale on Ebay. They looked to be in good shape. I'm hoping to run a set of 100W bulbs in them. Relays and electrical is already ready to go.

 

Here is the list as I understand it.

 

Make: Marchal 

Model: 812, and 712,

642 (with amber bulbs)

 

Make: Cibie

Model: 40, 5" dia.

 

Make: Hella

Model: 500, any others? (with Amber shields)

 

Thanks!

There is also a chrome back Cibie, similar to the Hella 160, yet I don't know the model number.

I mounted driving lights behind the grilles on my 74 back in the 70s, you will be disappointed with the light output.  There is a Cibie 45 6" or so driving light but Andrew, I think your pic is of fog lights.

Yes my Cibies are fogs.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
