wait. FOG lamps are used with LOW beams, not high beams, they provide a low to the ground wide field of light with a sharp cutoff at the level. DRIVING lights are auxillary narrow beam lights used in conjunction with HIGH beams. yellow is sometimes used with fog lamps, never with driving lamps, and AFAIK in most states, yellow is illegal on your main headlights, only on auxilliary fog lamps..

your 84 240 has the quad rectangular lights, yes? there are no driving or fog lights stock unless you have a 242GT or something with the extra set of lights in the grill, or some sort of aftermarket lights on the bumper.

so what exactly are you looking for here?

well, that link is full of fail. high beams are NOT fog lamps.

so you want yellow high beams? are those 200 by 142 mm (7.9 by 5.6 in) or 165 by 100 mm (6.5 by 3.9 in) units ? (I've not had a quad-rectangular lamped 240, and don't know offhand what size it uses).

you can get lamps to replace those that use H4/H1 halogen bulbs, and you can get those in amber. for instance these,
Susquehanna MotorSports - Auto Performance Product
(which are the 165x100mm size), and Susquehenna will even include the 55W Amber lamps for you.
