Headlamp Electrical Connector Breather Tube - What Does It Do?

So all the lights in the right headlamp assembly failed. All on separate fuses so figured it had to be a loose connector. While re-inserting the headlamp assembly, the black plastic housing breaks - the one that holds the female side of the headlamp connector (light blue and orange) in place so that the other end that is attached to the headlamp assembly plugs into it when inserted, so now the female side is not attached, fortunately there was enough slack that I could manually plug it into the headlamp assembly, but any thoughts on how bad if an idea it is to just leave it plugged in without any additional securing? Also after looking at parts diagram I see a breather tube that I should have connected to the electrical connector, dreading removing it because something is wrong and it is very difficult to re-align and reassemble the headlamp assembly. What in the world does an electrical connector need a breather tube for? I know I have to go back and fix, but what is that for? thanks, in advance.
