Have you checked the fuses?
Are the taillights working?
Have you checked the dimmer switch adjustment ( if equipped)?

Dear KHow2008,
Thank for your help. I adjusted the dimmer switch, it fix the issue. On Toyota Sienna, the trip odometer switch on the odometer itself is also the dimmer switch. Thank you.

Just make sure when you reset your trip to zero or setting your per gallon trip after filling up gas, make sure to turn your odometer knob back clockwise to brighten your panel board lights. Than usually cause temporary panic if you are not aware.
