Anyone know if this is the right silvervision bulb for clearing the corners? I need a skew# or something so I get the right bulb. Will the replacement bulb from the Nissan 350Z work to clear the corners of an s2000?
Not sure if this helps or not, Honda Amber Bulb Part Numbers:
33303-S2R-003 = Amber Turn Signal (7440)
33301-S5H-T01 = Amber Parking Light & Side Marker (168)
Got these at the my local honda dealer...

Thanks, Dakota. But, I'm looking for the type of bulb that is silver when unlit and amber when lit. I heard Nissan may have them. Trying to verify that and get the part number or the phillips item #.
Ok, I think I found a bulb that is silver when unlit and amber when lit, which (unlike the phillips bulb) doesn't need any grinding or alteration to fit in the S2000 front indicator spot.
If you apply a thin coat of silver paint from a spray can on the original amber bubs, it will become silver when unlit and amber when lit. The cost of a small spray paint can is as little as 99 cents and can be used for many amber bulbs. I had all my amber bulbs painted silver for my E430, and I acn say that it works.
You did order the wrong part. The bulbs you have ordered fits the JDM and EURO spec cars with the standard equipped clear corners. Osram and Philips Silvervision offer these lamps.
You need the 7440 push-in type bulb (Polarg Hybrid M1 or Raybrig R184) like I used for my USDM car.
The top picture is with an amber colored Polarg 7440 bulb, the bottom one is the Raybrig Stealth lamp. Both are in OFF condition.
Poor quality picture of the Stealth lamp in OFF and ON condition. Actual light is just like a regular amber bulb.
Much good luck with your search!!! (I could only find them in Japan).
I masked off my 7440's and spray painted with hi temp paint. If you do this make sure you "cure" them by letting them blink OUTSIDE the headlight housing for 5 min before installing. They will most definitely smoke as they heat up until cured. No one wants smoke fogging up their headlight housing.
For parking lites I used the "silvered" Polarg bulbs. I'm not wild about them as they still appear to be amber when in direct sunlight even when turned off. Bright exterior lighting (sun, camera flashes, etc.) cause them to appear amber even though they have a silver coating.
I'm impressed with the silvering on this Stealth light bulb in the above link. They do make a 7440 version of the bulb @ $30 /pair. The coating appears much better then the Polarg. I've got an e-mail into them to see if they have sample pics of the bulb lit up and ones with them in bright sun.
