A vehicle is equipped with a spotlight. The spotlight has a rod that passes through a pillar of the vehicle, such as the A-pillar. The A-pillar includes one or more beams. The beam is provided with an aperture or a through-hole for the rod to pass through. One or more sleeves are provided with a tubular body and a flange. The flange is secured to the beam and is oriented such that the tubular body passes at least partially through the aperture or through-hole. The sleeve provides an engagement surface that surrounds the rod of the spotlight while improving structural rigidity of that portion of the pillar.
