There are a few ways you could do it, all involving various methods of casting and so on. Here's how I'd do it:
1)Paint the back of the headlight lens with Maskol or some type of liquid masking fluid. Protects the clear plastic
2)Get a big block of putty/filler and press the back of the lens into the surface. Make sure it's deep enough to have made an impression but don't push the lens in too far or you won't get it back out again.
3)When dry, lift the lens out gently and peel off any Maskol
4)You should now have a big lump of solid putty with an imprint of the headlamp lens.
5)Carve it down to size until you have a sort of headlamp shaped "block" (much like a 1/24 version of a real car light)
6)Using a drill & file, carefully make a hole in the middle and file outwards until you are left with your headlamp vent
