I have a 1995 toyota corolla base, and when my headlights are on my brake lights stay on, but when the headlights are off the interior dash lights up when u step on the brakes and the parking lights turn on.. any clues on what is causing this??

yes ,
check the fuses.

The circuits are on two different fuses, but both are controlled by the headlight switch. I would check for power at those fuses then at the switch.

The handbrake warning light is activated by a switch on the handbrake bracket under the console. This is most likely stuck or broken.

The interior light staying off when the door opens is common. It could be that a door plunger switch is sticking (they can corrode inside), or there is poor contact at each end of the dome light globe. Take out the globe and press the contacts closer (just a bit) then push the globe back in, checking that it is firmly held. Then spray a little WD40 or similar on the plunger of each door switch and press it in a few times against the spring.

Which ignition light is not working, one of the warning lights? Or the check engine light?

brake?? if so,, follow the brake pedal up to the connection point under the dash,, you'll see it,, It works link a plunger off the pedal base itself

In Canada it's mandatory to have DRL(Daytime Running Lights). Your Corolla probably has this feature built in. it is a safety thing however I can understand you wanting them off if it's not the law where you live.
In our 1998 Corolla, I use the parking brake all the time - every time I park - and I've noticed the lights do not come on until I release the parking brake after starting the motor. When I park the car, until I shut off the engine, the lights stay on regardless of the parking brake status however, if I shut off the engine and restart with the parking brake on, the lights do not come on.
If you "adjust' the parking brake switch(i.e.: make e-brake light in your dash it stay on all the time) your lights will not go on until you turn them on via the multifunction lever(left side of wheel). This of course negates the benefits of the e-brake light working correctly (warning you that your e-brake is on or that your brake fluid level is low) which in itself is not so safe!
There is a fuse/relay (I think) in the big fusebox under the hood that has a DRL "spot", you might want to check if you can remove it and still turn the lights on manually when you want them on. Alternately, there is a fuse in the interior fuse box(in Canadian models anyway) labelled DRL. When that fuse is out, it seems the lights only turn ob when I turn them on manually.
Hope this helps and God bless,

bad ground

You probably have a stuck or misadjusted brake light switch. The brake light switch located under the dash next to the brake pedal lever.

check the brake light switch on the pedal

You have a ground problem in your lighting check your bulbs around the car make sure they are clear of any corrosion its either on the outside or in the inside where your trouble is start by checking your lights out you may need to get a meter for your electrical troubles they can get mighty tricky.
