Yes, that looks correct for the gauge and temp light. Installed at the driver's end of the trunk side cylinder head, near the ignition coil.
I believe, to test which wire goes to which terminal, you can turn the ignition to ON without starting. Then with the new sensor installed, touch one of your engine bay harness wires to one pin. If the gauge moves, that will be the correct terminal. If the light comes on, that will be the incorrect terminal.
Be sure your temp gauge is calibrated. With a cold engine, ignition ON, the needle should sit on 100. With ignition OFF, the needle should sit on the round part of the bottom of thermometer symbol. If it's not properly calibrated, once you get the new sensor installed and wired, start the car and let it idle until the cooling fan comes on. That will give you a reference point to know when you're about to overheat until you have time to remove the gauge and calibrate it.
Don't go at removing the instrument cluster without a little advice. There are two VERY TINY screws, about 5 or 6 mm heads, hidden at the very top of the clear lens. Many of us have removed the visible screws and broken the lens because we missed those two screws.

fierosound, can you tell him which wire goes to the sender terminal nearest the slot in the head? Would make it easier for him.
