You've got some kinda of ground problem most likely. And whenever you corner the problem wires touch and thus cause them to come on...those are the hardest problems to find though...

Do you mean the actual exterior brake lights? Or do you mean the e-brake warning light? If it is the warning light, you need to top off your brake fluid. If it is the exterior lights, just ignore me!

Brake fluid in the master cyl is low.

i thought the light just shows when the mechanical brake is activated, not brake fluid levels

its an indicator for Brake fluid, the hand brake activated and (if the vehicle is equipped) ABS pump failure.
