If the lights are staying on, the fuse is not blown. Think about it.
The way most of the interior lights work is that there is power to the lamp all the time. To turn on the lamp, ground is applied to the lamp. This ground comes from the SECU module that acts as the on/off switch.
battery --> fuse --> lamp --> SECU --> ground.
Reset the SECU by connecting the positive lead from the battery for a minute or two and then re-install and see if this fixes the problem.
Out of curiosity, were you changing the lamps by the rear view mirror when the spark happened?
