Well......You can't really hermetically seal the lights. Zenons make a lot of heat. There needs to be some leakage to accommodate expansion and contraction from this heat......There are expansion vents on the light. 3 on each tail and I'm sure the headlights have the same since there is more potential heat there. There's always some in and ex-filtration...
