A soft, flexible layer is sandwiched between the substrate and an outer abrasion resistant layer. The material which forms each layer is intermixed at the interface of the layers. In this manner, a multilayer film may be provided upon the substrate wherein a hard outer layer stays on top of a softer layer adhered to the plastic substrate. A vehicle headlamp which includes such a lamp lens is also provided.
