May be so, but the law works differently. "One cannot benefit from the misfortune of someone else." This I learned back when I was a poor college student. I had a car with pretty oxidized paint all over. Someone backed into my front fender. Being very obvious that just painting that fender would leave the car looking pretty funny, I tried to argue for a complete paint job. The legal response was that the oxidized paint on the rest of my car was really my responsibility. Paint is a wear item and I had simply worn out the paint on my car.
The same is true bout the sheen on the passenger side headlight. The OP can certainly try, but there is no legal basis for anyone other that the owner being responsible for it. However, ask nicely and someone might be able to get you what you want as a "customer satisfaction" gesture.
