Condensation is a feature of clear glass on headlamps and tailights.
VWs, Vauxhalls, Toyotas, they all do it as standard, from the factory.

how come doesnt there have to be some sort of break in the seal to allow condensation

Apparently not.
VX220's do it front and rear, MR2s do it front, Golf Mk4's do it at the front... probably loads more now lights all seem to come with clear glass.
If the lights aren't taking in water, I wouldn't worry about a little condensation.
