Check that brake light switch. It doesn't just bolt into place. It is 
adjustable, so that you can increase, or decrease the travel of the 
brake pedal, before the lights turn on when you press.

If you screwed it all the way down, then the lights won't turn on 
until you almost hit the pedal to the floor. Gently brake by lightly 
pressing the pedal, and the lights will never come one.
