Have noticed that when ignition is on or car is running and the sidelights are switched off when I press the brake pedal the sidelights also come on and go off when I release the pedal, Any ideas?

Sounds like a bad earth. unplug the connectors on back of both rear lights and clean terminals with sand paper or matchbox strike paper. re assemble and check connection. if still no luck check earth straps around boot area, These sometimes get dirty and/or loose. check clean and tight(Don't apply grease or oils as this will not allow a clear contact between the earth wire and the car body). Earth straps are usually brown and can be single or a few clustered together (all same color)
