Replace the switch or set it correctly behind the brake pedal.

Thanks, could you elaborate? I'm not very technical with cars

I've just noticed you said when you turn on your lights. I couldn't see that part on my phone. Ignore what I said earlier. You need to check the earth at the rear light clusters as your lights will be earthing through the brake lights this causing them to light up. It'll be a dirty connection.

Easily solvable? What's the earth at the rear cluster? Is the rear cluster where all the cables for the lights are? Sorry for the noob questions, the helps appreciated.

Yes. The first thing to do is open the boot and get to the bulb holder. Unclip it so you can get to the bulbs. Pop each one out and check the connection are all clean. Then pop off the main connector and check the connection where that plugs onto are clean.
