Default brake light switch problem

well, i heard its a popular thing to happen to hondas and now it happened to me.

the plastic on the brake light switch on the pedal broke. now my brake lights stay on and drain my battery. i heard somebody talking about using a bolt and nut for a permanent/more effective fix? how is this done? also heard the same method could be used for the clutch pedal for the neutral safety switch. anyways...HELP, HONDA-TECH!

I used a bolt and 2 nuts to fix mine. The bolt goes through where the plastic part was and nuts one each side to keep it in place.
