Hi, it sounds like your brake pedal return spring may not be working right. Can you get the lights to go off by pulling up on the brake pedal? If yes, check the return spring on the pedal and repair or replace the spring as necessary to get it to pull the switch closed. If this DOESN'T work, replace the switch. Please let me know if you have questions and thanks for using FixYa.
Replace your brake light switch. There are two different types but I believe you have the one that is under the dash. the arm of the brake pedal pushes against a button type switch. This switch has a bit of adjustment that can be made by moving it closer or farther away from the brake arm.
the other type of switch is hydraulic in nature and screws into the master brake cylinder, but again I don't think this is what you have.
