Default C6 headlight sealed?

I've read here that the headlight assembly is sealed--mostly.
The problem I'm having is that after the light has been r&r'd for front body work and paint, I'm looking at what appears to be a lot of dust inside.
So, if when it was removed and the harness/lamps were removed, and it was set aside in a dusty body shop, could it have gotten dust inside?
I read that there is a vent, but I'm assuming that it is pretty small and probably not the problem.
Thanks in advance

It's possible. Especially if they didn't leave the bulbs in.

You can try getting a air duster and blow it out the bulb holes, worse comes to worse you can pull the lens off and then re-seal them.
