duno but theirs a timer on the interior lights. notice after you pull the key out they come on if your overhead switch is in auto position. your side lamps have three way switches too.
On an 04 any way.

but the manual said: glove compartment light is on when it's open. Also there is a warning: leaving the glove compartment on could drain the battery. according to this, I assume there is no timer for this light.
I found it's not always true. This afternoon, I turned off the iginition and left the car. then I remembered I needed something in glove box. So I returned, unlocked the car, opened the glove box. It was dark.

You will find that if you put the key in and turn the ignition the light will come on.
These things are wired a bit different. As in how the radio keeps playing after shutdown until you pull the key. Radio goes off and int. lights may come on depending where you have the switches set.
Don't run your battery down playing with the lights.
