Default autometer gauges fogged up?

Just as the title states... I hopped in my car tonight, its probably been sitting in the garage about a week, nothing unusual. The gauges have been in about 2 months i'd say, and i noticed when i turned my lights on that they were all fogged up? Tried wiping them off and realized they were foggy on the inside I dont know how it happened, im assuming the gauges are no good? Or has anyone else had this problem.

its normal, due to the high humidity and the delta-temp between gauge internal air temp and the outside air temp, once they equalize it should disappear.
