Psychedelic Gauges!
Are any of you experiencing a rainbow of colors on your radio and temperature control guage displays...almost to the extent that you can't read the numbers? Mine almost looks like the display of a cell phone after it has been trashed. Very 60's but somewhat annoying for a guy with less than perfect eye sight. Do I complain to the dealer or is this "normal"? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Yup, mine appears that way too. Doesn't bother me ... either sunglasses do it like ^ said, or I didn't wipe of the cleaner well enough.

Get just a hint of it once in awhile without the polarized sunglasses. Not enough to bother me. Have seen something similar on the back glass on all Fords for the last 25-30 years while wearing polarized sunglasses.

I am glad I read this thread. I noticed this situation today for the first time. I would have never thought it was the sunglasses. I can sleep good tonight!!!!

I have the same thing on mine and I can see it without wearing sunglasses. It is very pronounced too! I was kind of worried that there is something wrong. Does anyone else have this effect WITHOUT looking through sunglasses?

Thanks for the responses. Mine is pretty bad and there all of the time. I think I'll talk to the dealer...it actually interferes with some of the display captions. Kool but not WAY kool? Thanks again.
