Seems to be a few electrickery gremlins there, with the headlights triggering your temp light, and def worth looking into.
As to your link, you are then adding another (aftermarket) electrical component to the equation, that may cause even more grief.
A well running T3 temp light has two functions. After start up, it should only come on if there is a coolant drop in the pressure bottle, (and it won’t turn off if you fill the coolant bottle full, unless you reset it by turning off the ignition).
It will also come on, even with coolant levels correct, if the motor overheats for another reason.
Best to accept the needle position at warmed up running mode, as normal, to base any concerning variation.
My two, run at normal operating temperature, with a different needle position. I only look at variations to that position in each, to see if they are behaving, or need attention.
