Narrative:
With the weather at 2 SM (statue miles) and snowing; as part of my pre-takeoff brief I acknowledged the low visibility and set the ILS runway xxr frequencies in Nav1 and Nav2. Takeoff roll began and rotation went as normal; around 700 ft. AGL I started to notice a hot smell. Climbing out of about 1500-2000 ft. AGL. It was at this time I stared to see smoke coming out of the fuel gauges; I reacted by turning off the master light switch on the overhead panel. And then I ran the checklist for smoke in the cockpit. I [requested priority handling] and requested the ILS runway xxr which was given to me. I received vectors to the final approach course and came back and landed runway xxr without any additional incident. Noticed a smell shortly after takeoff; and then saw smoke.looked to be little water that got behind the fuel gauge. Turning off the electric load to the fuel gauges; and running the checklist.preventing water from getting in the crew door as much as possible.
