An incandescent automotive lamp having a glass envelope (12) with a polyetherimide sleeve attached to a press-sealed end (18) of the glass envelope. The sleeve (32) includes a base portion having an interior passage that permits the sleeve to be slid onto the press-sealed end. Attached to the base portion of the sleeve are a pair of opposed locking members, with each locking member having a free, cantilevered end locaqted near the bottom side of the base portion. When the sleeve is assembled onto the press-sealed end of the glass envelope, the free end engages an associated bearing surface on the press-sealed end which inhibits the sleeve from sliding back off the glass envelope. The polyetherimide sleeve is capable of withstanding relative high temperature operation of the lamp without outgassing of the plastic, and the locking members allow secure attachment of the sleeve to the glass envelope without cracking of the polyetherimide material.
