Default Peculiar Hose

Hello all. Today I was looking behind my headlights and I noticed this hose laying there, one on each side. I could not find where it belongs. Does anyone think it looks familiar? Thanks!

Its for venting the headlights so it doesnt condensate inside. Its part of the ventilation system and should be there. Its also for venting the HID's.
Pics still not showing. Use tinypic.com and then hotlink them I like that site better cause it doesnt require registration if you dont want to.

No problem. I'm trying to find more info on anything other reason its there and doesn't seem to be much but I know its to keep from condensating and I've seen them on other HID cars and since HID uses Xenon gas I'm assuming it helps vent that also. May do other things but its normal to have them.

Just to make sure I'm talking about the right hoses do they look like these. Just make sure they are attached to the nipple next to the blinker light and you are good.
