Her insurance would be used, should you have to go that route. It would be considered at fault, but as you are not a resident relative from an insurance point of view, her rates would not be greatly affected. This in of itself would do nothing, but when her entire record is looked at, this could be the straw that broke the camels back and bump her into a worse rating category. There is also a good chance you have not met her deductible (if it is an older car, she may not even have coverage for collision).
Be a good boy and pay for it. Do it yourself. Ebay the lights and put them on, get her a nicer looking pair of Euro style lights. If the bumper itself is also damaged, they can be super expensive to fix. See if one of those dent doctor people can get it out. Else slap a bumper sticker over it and blame her whenever anyone asks. If it is just a scrape, you may be able to buff it out with a little elbow grease.

I can't believe you are actually having to ask this question. If you are a true gentleman and you do care about this girl and you admit you were the person driving when this accident happened....YES. If you just answered yes to one of those the answer is still YES. If she turns it in on her insurance...her rates will proabably go up. Therefore being the grown-up responsible person you are, you will take responsibility for the damage YOU did to her car and pay to have it fixed. It doesn't matter if you are 16 or 36...you are responsible enough to drive you are responsible enough to pay for any damage.

The damages you are describing are most likely not going to exceed the amount of her (or your) insurance deductible, so forget the insurance.
Also, if you're hoping to have someone to call a "girlfriend" in the near future I suggest you pay. LOL. I'm serious! It's not only the gentlemanly thing to do, but also the PROPER thing to do.
It happened to me with cigarrete burns on the driver (and passenger) door and guess who paid?
ME!
:O)

If you caused the damage, you should pay.
I'm guessing you're asking because you feel like you were doing her a favor by driving her and if not for you doing the favor, the accident wouldn't have happened. While that may be true, you accepted the task and take-on the responsibility for being a safe driver, or in this case, the consequences.

You are legally and morally required to pay unless you argue that the car has a sudden acceleration problem.

You most certainly should pay... Regardless that it so happens it's your girlfriends car...You should be responsible enough to pay!!! Cracked headlight? That won't cost too much anyway...

Well, if your a good boyfriend i would assume you would pay for the damages or atleast her deductible....
but legally as the owner her insurance is responsible for the damages. But i hope she dumps your butt if you make her pay for it herself.

Ummm... yeah. Of course you should. Unless insurance pays for it. Whatever she should normally pay if it was her, you should pay because it was you. Your fault.

Yes you should because it was your fault.
