Default Interior lights not coming on

I just bought a 99 FRC and I cant get any interior lights to come on when I open either doors. The rearview mirror lights work when I turn them on. Any help? The car didnt have the owners manual in it and it might be something simple. Thanks!

First things first, a member since 06? Hmmmmmmmmmmm......

Now, you can do a search for the downloadable manual and/or start checking your fuses. Make sure you have bulbs in those areas. Check the interior light dimmer switch as the previous owner may have had it turned all the way down. I do believe that under the fuse boxes, there are fuse locations printed out.

Is it dark? The interior lights don't come on until it thinks it is dark enough. My footwell lights don't turn on in the sunlight, I had to close the garage door...
good luck.
