Update : the switch may have been loose ? I took the pedal board off and felt back behind the brake pedal and tightend something as much as I could with my fingers and no more brake lights . Thank you guys
Now were all wondering "what" you tightened up with your fingers????
The switch is held in place with two small screws, not easy at all to "tighten with fingers"
The only thing that you could get your fingers around easily is the rod from pedal to master cylinder adjusting nut in which case you have bigger issues now.
From your description of "something" and your general demeanour, I'd guess you didn't lift out the pedal cover board once you took the socket head bolts out, as its a bit of a Rubik Challenge, and you've been working blind???
