Subject:Fuel and Temp read too high.

Hello everyone, I have a situation with my guages on my 82 westy diesel.
It seems as though my temperature and gas guage read optimistically
high. Both by about a 1/4 inch. I ran out of gas just when I hit the red
zone on the fuel guage. An the temp guage reads 2/3rds when the
thermostadt opens up. (Ive replaced the thermostadt and it still reads
the same) One other tidbit to add to the mix is the guages run a little
higher when tha headlights are switched on. Sounds like a ground or poor
connection???? What should I clean, or try? Thanks for any suggestions.
Joel
