ITs actually so you can work on the buckets or change the light bulbs without turning on the lights, but you are right, it could be a backup as well if the light switch somehow failed...The lights can be manually opened as well by reaching up from underrneath and pushing up on the linkage when the car is off

Nope, not a backup. If the control part of the system can't hold vacuum (as would happen if the switch failed) the doors automatically open.
Here's a great thread about how the headlamp door system works.
