    Does anyone have a diy fix for this or am i up for new gauges?

    These have been uncovered and unused for a week and are still fogged.

    Are there seals or vent holes that may be bad or plugged?

    Any advice appreciated!

    Turn on your back lights for a few hours. The heat from the lamps will dry all out.

    I have the same issue with the ER mounted gauges on a pair of C32s. Gauges are unusable. At about $100 a pieces what a waste of money. No lights in the gauges...

    thse gauges lost thier sealing !
    if you can take them off the panel cover them with a lot of rice, yes rice, for three to six day.
    they'll be dry as a desert, but you mast reseal them otherwise they'll get moist in no time.
    rice is a very good moisture absorbant and it's a very good way to dry a cellphone that fell to the kitchen sink or the toilet
