Check the brake light switch on your brake pedal, it might be faulty and needs to be replaced or just came loos.

Thanx, will check it out, thought it might be a fuse, but cant see anything wrong there, but when it comes to electrical issues, I'm basically just a clown at a graduation sermon

Hi
Did you manage to sort this out ?
Was it the brake light switch?

I'm currently experiencing the same issue

Velocity brake lights

Just for information:

Brake switch

Image

Located behind the brake pedal, it is spring loaded, when you press the pedal it goes into on position and switches on your brake lights.

Image

When you release the pedal it goes into off position and switches off your brake lights.
Image

You take it out by twisting it and pulling.
