Anybody ever get fog in any of their gauges?

I have never in my life seen fog in any gauges until tonight. It should be noted that tonight was the first time that I had the illumination wired in to my gauges and man do the bulbs and gauge bodies get hot.

Any ideas or suggestions?

All mine were fogged tonight when I started my car for the first time in a month.

Used to happen in my Shadow when the cluster was cold but the air from the heater was coming out warm and moist. Happened more when I shut the A/C off but left the fan on.

Hmmmmmmmm, never happened to me in my van, but in my old Grand Am, on a cold wet day, the instrument cluster would once in a while. It would only last 10 mins or so.

i have seen a little fog on occasions where the interior was very cold and the dew point was just right....once the interior warms up the condensation disappears.

Same here with Autometer gauges, mostly on damp cool nights. I just roll up the windows and run the defroster, usually fixes in about 1-2 minutes.

My omni does not have heat, and it happens at night when I fire it up at about the time of year when I am thinking of puting it away for the winter.
