It could be a minute crack in the glass. Sometimes they can be very difficult to see.

Headlight lens assemblies are ventilated to compensate for atmospheric pressure changes. Some condensation will form on the inside of the lenses which should evaporate with headlight use in about 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on conditions.

If headlight lenses weren't ventilated the pressure changes could crack the lens and / or blow the bulbs.
