Default Brake Lights on but car off

After work today i noticed my brake lights on after i turned my car off.
they are on like your pushing them in, even the little light in the middle.
turning the car on and hitting the brakes does nothing.

headlights were off so i dint know what was going on???

found a little broken green rubber peice on the carpet
that pushes in the brake switch.

i dont know the name of the part but i checked auto zone.
found somthing that would work called...

( Dorman Help rubber bumper assortment universal)
it was around $6, i used the one with the flatest head.

the flat part goes against the switch, its not an exact fit but you will need to hold the brake pedal down and push the switch in to get it to go in.

the pressure from the switch will hold it in place.

just posting this to help anyone that has the same problem.

i just got a ticket for my licens plate lights out, i was like damn that cops gonna love this tommorrow, im glad i got it fixed before work.
