I work with the company that supplies the headlamps. The lens is glued to the housing so there is no gaskets to be replaced there. The vent is a small patch on the back of the housing. It is like a very small mess screen material. The only gaskets are on the covers where the wires and blub sockets attach to the back of the housing. It is possible for them to not seal if not installed correctly.

Thanks Brian. Whatever caused the original problem appears to have gone away. At least I know there is a vent always open. Replacing the lamp seals you mentioned, that could be installed improperly, would not seal the cove area.
