Default 92 DA integra brake lights wont turn off after hid install

got a 92 da integra. just put hid's in. theyre only one beams so i have no high beams (i was too cheap for the high beam). so whats happening now is when i dont have my lights on and i step on my brake all my dash lights come on. when i do have my lights on my brake lights are on all the time. they wont go out. when i step on the brake with the lights on the brake lights go a bit brighter but dont turn off when i step off the brake. before i try to figure this out figured id throw this up see if anyone else has any ideas... thanks!

damn, i havent put my stock ones back in but my problem is i did buy the high and low, i had to reverse the polarity on the low and then it wouldnt switch over to high and then my high beam light on my dash wouldnt go out, so i tested it, and it was working fine for low but it was sending 6V to the high, so i gave up, unplugged the highs and am using just the lows for now till i can find a solution
