Default Break lights only working when pedal pressed hard

Hi guys

So it was pointed out to me in the traffic the other day that my break lights are not working properly.
On closer inspection , when I break softly , the lights do not come on and as I depress further they come on , but at that point I am breaking quite hard.

Have any of you had this problem and is it an easy fix ?

Adjust the brake pedal switch. See FSM (link in my sig) for more info.
