My gauge acts the same way and has since I added RedLine WaterWetter to the mix last summer. Now it goes above the LED when I sit in traffic idling. I changed out the radiator fan switch with the lower temperature rated one, but that had no effect on where the gauge sits or the way it acts. I will be replacing my thermostat with the lower temp one, along with the housing itself and all of the coolant, so I'll let you know how it goes.
