The lights are controlled by a little switch up above the pivot of the brake pedal. You'll have to stick your head down at the floor & maybe(?) push some trim peices out of the way.

Sounds like that switch is out-of-position, or screwed up, or maybe it's bracket is bent. Have to get down there & look at it to see what's up.

I suppose it depends if you live in the USA, the UK, or down under.. Wherever your brake pedal is, that's where the switch is.
