You could always mount a whisker switch under the dash, with the whisker 
against the brake pedal arm, so pressing the pedal removes the tension and 
activates the lights.

I used to use them on Bucket Trucks (Phone Company) to light a warning light 
on the dash to tell the driver the boom was not stored properly, so they 
wouldn't drive away and hit something.

We got the switches through a local supply store that sold stuff from 
Cole-Hersee.  They also have pressure switches.

 Catalog   http://www.colehersee.com/catalog_top/index.htm
Whisker Switch Part No: 8487
Pressure Switch Part No's  8626, 8628, 8629, 8631, 8638, 8649,

Good Luck

Bob
