Yes, in a way you are correct; the wire is white but over time became sort of brown toward the socket; this is either from the metal contacts of the socket having oxidized in close proximity to the insulation, or simply from the light colored insulation having been close to the heat... I cleaned the insulation using acetone, which restored the white color.
