Instriment panel foggy

Hello, I'm new here. I've had my Fit for just over a year and I love it, no major problems in the 62000 miles I've put on it (I drive alot). One issue that I encountered is that the see through plastic for the gauges (speedometer, rpms, etc) have clouded up, from the inside. Does anyone know a simple solution to fix this, it's not that big of a big deal and I'm not going to take the dashboard apart to fix it, but I was wondering if maybe there is an easy fix.

Can you get a photo of it?

Not sure why it would fog up but it's a very easy replacement of the plastic cluster

I bought my car used and the lenses have light scratches on them as if someone wiped it with a paper towel or something coarse.

I'D bet the windshield was replaced and not sealed properly, water is getting in/under the dash and with the heat is fogging up - sorry to hear, it might take a bit more effort to get that fixed, i'm sure a hair dryer will heat it up enough to make it go away but if you don't find the cause, i'm afraid you'll get it back
