Default Intermittent Brake Lights

Guy pulled up next to me at a light today and told me my brake lights weren't working. Went home and closed garage door behind me to check their reflection. He was right, but only when I fully apply the pedal. A light touch however and they work fine. I suspect the brake pedal switch, but haven't even crawled under there to check. (I changed a switch under there several years ago, but I'm thinking it was on the clutch.)

Tight fit for me under there! Problem sound familiar to anyone?

Probably the switch. Resistance test it through it's full range of motion, or just go ahead and replace it.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's definitely the switch since pressing the pedal harder results in the lights coming on...
