I don't think you can get any (but happy to be proved wrong). I've seen posts on other forums going back to 2009 asking about them, and the general response seems to be 'there are none'.

The all red ones are US type or have been covered with something. Genuine secondhand from A8Parts for replacements?

Popular mod is to get USA spec outers which then match the inners better as they're all red rather than a bit pink-red for the indicators. Potentially issues with bulbs or MOT so may need to swap them around for the MOT man, but most don't seem to have an issue
