Why does the light turn on as soon as you flip the lightswitch?
The light is connected in a electrical circuit. The electricity will only pass through the circuit if the circuit is closed. A switch can open and close this circuit by simply not making contact with the next wire so the electricity can not be passed on. When you turn on the switch, the circuit gets closed again and the electricity will run through, so to the light. Because electricity has the speed of light (+-300 000 km/h) it will seems like the electricity reaches the light immediately. Plus the neutral travels through the filement of the bulb and down the switch wire giving an instant closed circuit when switch is closed

What is the small red light on the dash just to the left of the steering column on a 1999 Camry?
That is the valet light ( I believe that is the name of it). It is basically dealing with how you car can be locked and unlocked. There is a switch that should be under it (hidden somewhat) where you can flick to different positions. You can turn it off by putting the key in a certain position and flick the switch. It should be in the manual because I have done it a couple of times but had to follow the instructoins in the manual.
