Coolant Temp Sensors

I have a 1996 Ford F250 XLT 7.3L Powerstroke, manual transmission. It has two coolant temp sensors. One on top of the water pump that I'm told is for the gauge, the other one goes into the front of the block which is for the light to indicate overheating. They both have the single wire connector. My question is, are both these sensors the same part number, or are they seperate? I've determined the the one for the gauge is part# DOZZ10884A because when I grounded the wire, the gauge did not peg out to the hot side. I'm really just trying to figure what the correct part number I need for the light sensor. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

It's the red one for the gauge. Would you use the same sensor for the light?

The light is a switch on or off
The gauge is resistive and temp goes up as resistance changes

Thank you, would you happen to know the part number for the light sensor? Nobody seems to be able to tell me.
