Pay no attention to the green/white, it should be connected to the red wire
in the harness which will illuminate the bulb whenever the running lights
are on. The fact that it is not black means it is connected to the tip on
the bulb socket to differentiate it from the ground (earth) connection.

The

Are you sure the one without foil just lost it? The foil makes the 2/3 of
the lense a reflector with is rather important since it will be more
visible even with the lights off. At any rate all the ones I've seen had
the foil.

I routed mine over the top of the transmission. I can't recall if I routed
it through the hole in the webbing or not and you may want to try routing
it more directly. But do go over the top of the transmission, don't go
under.
Good luck and it looks like you'll get the car on the road just in time to
put it up for the winter. ;-)
