All the lights are designed to go out after 20 minutes or so. So, you may have the same problem next time. The rear view mirror light switch is backwards, for me at least. On = out and off = in. That plus the dimmer switch thing makes it hard to get the right combination at times.

Well, after waiting quit a while, they finally went out.
As I stated above, I did push it in and out several times and it seemed to have not dimmed any lights at all. I did what the manual said to do. So anyway, fiddling around with it must have worked. Strange.
But thanks again, my Corvette family. I can always count on support from you....

I have a different problem. when I leave the car all the lights goes off except for the reading lights under the mirror. they go dimmer but not off. I didnt notice that with the stock blubs but I did when I put those LEDs. I waited about 5min and they didnt go completely off. I didnt check after that. is that normal??? I keep forgetting to check them. but I will when I get my car back next week

I just bought a new Grand Sport and I have the same issue. The courtesy lights will go out when you lock the car and go away but they will not go out while you are driving. Pushing in the switch for the interior lights makes no difference. It's becoming a real aggrivation to have the reading lights on all the time you are driving. 
Any other suggestions beside going to the dealership?

Gotta be one of the stupidest design ideas I've ever seen in a Corvette.

No, you actually should have pushed it in one time and released it. The map lights will not go out as soon as you push and release it. You've got to wait until you get out and shut the doors. Then, if/when the car locks, the map lights should start to fade and go out in a few seconds.
Pushing (and releasing) that button one time turns on all interior lights. Pushing (and releasing) again turns off all interior lights, but map lights don't go out immediately.
You had previously pushed and released it once when you were detailing the inside of the car, but didn't realize it. Nearly all of us have done that sooner or later without realizing it.

This is kinda funny as the same thing happened to me. Took me a while to figure it out and second time I did it was a slam dunk. Now if I could remember not to have crap in my pocket with the fob then my trunk open light would not come on going down the road. One day it happened as I was almost home and I figured I would reset the trunk when I got home but stopped by a road construction flag man he let me know my trunk was open and I felt dumb just thanking him and driving on.
