I've got a lot of those packets if anyone wants them, just pay for shipping and they're yours. They're about 3"x3" and 1" thick and came out of the tsx headlight housings.

So do I just put a pack in the back of the housing? Or does it has to be inside the tail light?
Because if it has to be inside the tail light then I have to open up the tail light which I probably will make matter worse to begin with.
Please let me know.

I think ideally they should go inside the housing, but near the opening should work too. I'm guessing the largest source of moisture is the opening where the wires come out. you could probably just add some silicon around the openings and it would seal it up.

btw, I sent you an email
