I think its model 4344, ultra-lite series.. anyways... I dont know why, but when I run the car and it starts to warm up, the gauge face fogs up and is hard to read.... isn't that fxcked up? Anyone else had this prob?

It's hapened to mine too. Same reason your windows fog up the gauge does too. I just wipe the face and get the fog off the outside.

Mine has never done that. Do you park outside? My car has always been garaged, and I haven't had the EGT in cold weather yet, so maybe mine will do it too.

my egt and boost guage do that. like after it rains and theres moisture in the air, Its fogs up on the inside of the guage which is a bitch! I'm going to put some clear silicone near the bezel area and on the back side to block any openings.

I just installed the EGT so I don't really have anything to base it off of yet, but my Fuel press, oil press, boost, or A/F don't do that, just my EGT... And it's whenever the car warms up, not just sitting there with it off.... Kinda wierd I think... It does it when the windows don't fog up... Just whenever I run the engine... I emailed autometer a sec ago, so in a week or two when they actually respond to me, I'll copy and paste their response. It's on the inside though, can't be wiped off on the outside... So I can see the gauge when the car is off, but when I'm driving it's fogged up and you cant make out the numbers, ain't that some fxcked up sh!t?

Anyone silicone every hole yet and see if that helps?

Sir,

You will need to return the gauge to us for the glass to be changed to a new permanently coated anti fog lens. The address to ship to is:

What am I doing wrong? It fogs up to the point where I cant read the numbers or even see them... emoji Help me out guys.
