Default Weird Problem

Sometimes when I get on the gas hard and drive fast (like when I'm street racing, and yes I know that is stupid) my brake light goes on and then goes off pretty quick, this is a new problem and I have pretty new pads I put them on a few months ago, anybody know why?

Ehm, I'm guessing check your lighting wires, maybe some of them are exposed and might ground themselves.

maybe the rebound on the brake pedal is going bad? so its not sprining back properly

i don't know the correct term for it, but it has happened, when the brake pedal doesn't rebound... thus constant brake light

If it's the e-brake light....the sensor that turns it off isn't getting engaged properly. THis happened in my civic. When I would mash or corner hard, it would move the e-brake just enought to lose contact with the circuit and my light would come on. I had to remove the center console and lift the sensor so that it was making contact with the mechanism and turning the light off. Easy fix.
