Ebrake light, check your brakd fluid level

Check to see if you have anything stuck between the brake pedal and brake pedal switch (to make the brake lights come on).

i think its the brake pedal switch is broken. my friend taped 5 pennies together and stuck it in there and it stopped. sux though becasue its just a temporary solultion (the stupid pennies fall out)

yeah could someone verify the actual fix for this if it is the brake light switch.... i bought a brake light switch from autozone an its not the same one thats on my car, so i came on here an saw tons of posts about how people just use a nut and a bolt to configure something... it would be helpful if anyone had some illustrations or something to better assist us with our barred out break lights...
