Its white and on my cluster, it is between the speedo and tach. It is difficult to turn to remove once the socket is locked in.

However though years of patience and understanding I can put the fiber optic cable back in by feel...

Here are a couple of pictures. Are you missing the metal retainer on the back of your socket by any chance? If it is there and isn't bent the cable should not come out. The retainer locks it in.

Actually I do have a tilt column waiting to be installed so when that happens I guess regular bulb holder with an LED will go into that socket.

I don't know. I dont remember seeing that when i changed dashes. I have to pull my dash to install one of Toms voltage gauge conversion kits and I'll check then. I gues when i get thetilt installed I can go regular socket with an LED like the rest of the dash.

Looks like he has a regular bulb socket in that hole.
