Default Rt t-lamp and ctr rear brake light stay on

My 92 Civic Hatch back had it rt rear tail lamp and rear center brake lamp staying on, while I discovered this double broken cone (in pieces) on the driver's floor just below the steering column. The two cones had a broken ring with blue coloring parts as the cones were also separated. Pulled the fuse for the lights. My hunch is the turn signal unit or perhaps a brake switch (?) perhaps. The cones are about 1/4" in length, maybe the same in width. I have attached two pics that may help. If my first hunch is correct, it would appear a new turn switch unit (got a good, reasonable source for that?) is required, meaning the steering covers have to come off, but can I do this without taking off the steering wheel which has an airbag...never removed one of these? How do I take off the top and bottom str column plastic covers? Thanks for your help...I certainly need it! Hope the pics give a good idea too.

There are 3 stopper pads if you have a manual transmission.

The stopper pads are near the switches on the pedals. They work in conjunction with the switches.

Hey, those pics will direct me just fine, most appreciative! I have the five speed manual, base model with same engine plus A/C with only 44,000 original miles, being the 2nd owner.
I take it the two cone shaped points that ended on the driver's floor that had broken rings (plastic) with blue color are part of something that you pointed to in those pics, right? If not, where would such items come from, just in case I have communicate incorrectly?
Again, thank you for your help, your sincere help!

The Honda/Acura part number that you want is 46505-SA5-000. You will need TWO. You will push them into the open holes on both the brake and clutch pedal arms cone first... just in front of the brake light switch and the clutch start/interlock switch. The brake switch pad will be easy to install... the clutch switch pad, eh, not so much. Removal of the clutch pedal makes it really easy. If you don't want to remove the pedal assembly, do a search about replacing the clutch switch pad and you will find some MacGyver tricks on how to do it. IGNORE the posts about sticking a bolt in the hole instead. I have used a long flat head screwdriver with the blade wrapped in sticky-side-out duck tape, stuck the pedal pad to it, oriented it cone facing the pedal with the back of the blade touching the clutch switch pin, and pushing the clutch pedal toward the floor to force the pad into the hole on the pedal arm.
