molding your sides should have nothing to do with your dome light wiring.
most likely a fuse blew or the light burned out. also it may have a short. unscrew the housing, snap off the cover and first try and see if you have a short (move the light around). then check the fuse. you can find the fuse diagram of the celica here:
