No mate they stopped making them quite a while ago, your best bet is breaking the amber filter up with a pair of long nose pliers thats how most people do them hope that helps mate

I did mine also, but used a screw-driver to break the amber off the unit then a pair of snips to break chunks off until it was small enough to drop out of the bulb housing.

Make sure you fit some silver-tec style bulbs which flash orange (or a light coating of silver paint on orange bulbs) and you should not have a problem on an MOT.

This is how I did mine and how my brother has since done his. Works a treat, nice and easy and tidy's up the look. The only issue I had was it made my headlamp units look a bit dull and brown so I replaced them with new
