Fiber Optic line into the gauge cluster?

Hi All,
I have a 71 C10 LWB. I've pulled the gauge cluster out in the past and I know that I have broken the plastic piece that holds a fiber optic line in place into the cluster.

Is that for the high beam indicator? Would make sense as it no longer works.

Thanks,
Jeff

That is for the gear indicator light on the column shift.

Excellent. Thanks, John.

Anyone know where to get a replacement for that?

I've always picked them up at the wrecking yard. They're used in a lot of GM models. Ashtray lighting etc...
