What year of Corvette? My '82 dash lights were very poor because they were only 2 candlepower bulbs. I put 3 candlepower bulbs in, and it made a noticable difference. But the higher candlepower (and hotter) bulbs will shorten the lifespan of the plastic sockets they fit into. I changed the 2's to the 3's about 20 years ago, and haven't had any problems to this date. But as I drive very little at night, I don't know what would happen if I drove a lot more at night. Maybe nothing.

You probably turned them on by accident. They are controlled with the same pull switch that turns on the headlights. By twisting the switch to the far left it will click and the dome lights will turn on, by twisting it to the right it will turn off the interior lights and will then dim the dashboard lights.
