I think this is probably the most common issue I've seen with our corollas. Check the wiring for your stereo harness. There are two orange wires, one is dimmer, one is dimmer ground. These should NOT be connected. Cut them and tape the ends off. If you did wire these together, you probably fried the dimmer rheostat, in which case your lights won't come on unless you replace this. Check the resistance on the rheostat. You also may or may not need to replace your radio/cig outlet or other fuses. Get the rheostat at a junkyard for like $15 and save yourself about $150 over toyota

Edit: oops, didn't realize this was a really old thread.
