Like many vehicles 10 years old or so, the headlights are no longer clear and shiny. The faces are foggy and yellow.
There are several ways to fix this and many products that can help but most are just temporary and the problem will return in near future. What to do? Replace the headlights. The cost is not much more than trying to clean them up properly.
eBay is a wondrous place to find stuff and amazingly there was a listing for 2006 Monaco Monarch. Not really so amazing when you consider that Monaco simply used an existing headlight from another car or truck. I bought the complete headlight assembly that included the marker/turn lights.
We did the same thing for the HHR in November and it worked out great.
Monaco modifies the original assembly to fit into their opening so I had to cut of some mounting tabs. I simply copied what Monaco had done. The picture below shows the new passenger side headlight and the original on the driver's side. Click to zoom to see the difference.
