Rather than make something that requires a connection inside the temp gauge why not just have something triggered by the voltage level on the temp sender line of the temp gauge circuit? That way it could watch the temp reading as well as the coolant level warning at the same time since the coolant level warning is done by overriding the temp sender signal to the gauge. Also swapping gauges or clusters would not mean starting over since it would all be external. Same thing could be done for the fuel gauge sender, an alarm to alert you when fuel low, even just a blinking light. The alt led, well that would be simple too.
