Well it's not the stock fuse box but I located my new box to the dash location where the original box was. I'm using a Painless pro street harness so the fuse box isn't much bigger then 6X6.

I don't have any pictures yet.

j/k....but there must be a better way to keep them dry. A good idea would be to find where the water is coming in and close that part off with something.....

car is driven in the rain weekly and washed twice a week, have never had an issue. just tug on the harness a bit and they will fit. i cut the hole larger so they are easier to move if need be. (hasnt been needed in 2 yrs+)

and dont bust my ***** car was dirty as hell when i did it.
