  • Publication number: 20160363284
    Abstract: An outer lens intended to seal an opening of a housing of the lighting and/or signaling device of a motor vehicle. The outer lens comprises a first layer and a mounting prong from the first layer, the mounting prong being intended to cooperate with a peripheral rib delimiting the opening, and it comprises a second layer covering the first layer at least level with the mounting prong. A first thickness E1 of the first layer is measured level with the mounting prong and a second thickness E2 of the first layer is measured next to the mounting prong. The first thickness E1 is greater than or equal to the second thickness E2.
