whoops looks like I sent you a blank page there.
Anyway, check your bulb sockets for corrosion or poor contact. That can cause the bulb failure light to go on and off or when you step on the brake. It's based on sensing the resistance in the circuit. Doubt it would be a ground though.
As to the temp gauge, it's in all likelyhood the sensor on the engine (see the FAQ on 900 series) probably needs replacement .
Can't help you out on the LA connection. If you go to the car talk website, www.cartalk.com, I think they keep a roster of mechanics recommended in various locales and make specialties.
good luck
