the brake light problem happened to me. the switch is at the top of the pedal, theres a lil plastic piece that always breaks and leaves the lights on

pandarex is right thats prob and dont try to make a quick fix of it because if you end up breaking the switch then your gonna have to send a lot more money goto your local honda and ask them for the pedal piece its only like 2.00

it was fairly simple to fix, just stuck a screw in that hole (large flanged head, left the head to contact the switch) to plug it up so the switch would make contact, and a bit of superglue to hold it in place.

haven't had a chance to go get the little rubber thingy from the honda place yet, but the screw is keeping the lights off for now...

Really simple fix...here's my thread on it. Get $3.28 and you're set.
Go/Call Honda and ask for the Pedal Stopper Pad, P/N 46505-SA5-000

Good luck
