This is true, Thomas, but if you do this you eliminate the margin you have
to reduce your engine temp. Stuck in traffic and your engine is running
hot? Turn off your lights and your water temp goes down by 15C... you won't
have that option if you ground the gauges.
(Ok, maybe I've been in this meeting a little too long...)

I found two spade sockets at a local alternator repair shop many
years ago.
I would assume they could be found on EBay.
