[DeTomaso] gauges that fog during use

[pantdino at aol.com]

My gauges mist up somewhat on hot days even when the lights are not on.
My guess is that enough heat comes up from the radiator tubes that it 
heats them up

The problem is caused by gauge bulbs that are too hot. You can switch to
lower watt bulbs or better yet you can switch to LED bulbs that 
generate no
heat at all. ( you must get the right ones) most LED's send a narrow 
beam of
ligjt you must bet the ones that project a wider arc. I have the ino 
some
where I will look for it and send it to you. They are only around $2.50 
ea
up your guages. . Anything else is just temporary. If the relative 
humidity
is high enough and the bulbs are hot enough you will get mostiure 
steaming
up you gauges. You can also turn down the brightness of the dash lights 
with
the rehostat for a temporary fix.
