Scott, I'd want to find out where the other end of that wire is, first.
AFAIK there is no red/white in the harness; the only 2 RW wires are the ones
I mentioned before.  The other side of the panel switch gets a short red
wire from the headlight switch (not in the harness), which is hot when the
tail/marker lights are on.

There is, however, a white/red wire that runs in the harness between the
starter pushbutton and the starter solenoid.

The original holders for the panel/gauge lights weren't what I would call
"spring loaded".  Are you sure you aren't looking at the holder for the high
beam indicator ?  The holder for the panel/gauge lamps has just a round disc
of brown phenolic, with stamped copper pieces riveted to it.  Moss 142-700.
There is just a little tab of copper that sticks out for the wires to solder
to; and two more tabs, one on each side, to crimp onto the wire as strain
relief.
