Please take look at a 7.5A fuse in the driver-side fuse box called "PANEL".

I went back to look at the electrical diagram. It seems that the 7.5A "PANEL" fuse provides power to most of the illumination lights in the cabin. Attached is the electrical schematic I reviewed. Can you take a look at it and let me know if the lights shown on the schematic are the same one that are not working?

Not saying this is your problem, but I have had fuse where it looks fine but it is not working. This had happened to me more than one time. Do you have a spare fuse? Do you have another car that you can borrow/swap the fuse?

Visual check of fuse? No simple multimeter at hand?

It looks like there's a 10A in your picture where RKW's post shows a 7.5A! Check the 10A fuse, left column in your picture, 2 spots above your 30A or 2 spots below your 20A. Now the secondary question is why do you have a 10A fuse when RKW shows it's supposed to be a 7.5A? Hmm...
