What kind of a socket did you buy that had a fiber opics light system.
If the new socket came with a yellow bulb could you not just twist it
out

I bought a new light socket assembly from Paragon. It came complete with lens, gasket, bulb and the socket which contained the amber glass piece for the fiber optics.
I guess I could twist that piece out but, is that the proper thing to do? I am just asking and want to make sure I don't permanently damage anything.

I think you are referring to the light bulb itself; the amber glass piece I am referring to is the glass piece that is tied to the fiber optics light system used in the '68-'71 Corvettes.
