Change the brake bulb. It sounds like one of the filamits is broken in the bulb. Could also be wiring crossed.
There is a sensor under the brake pedal. These sensors sometimes go bad, and cause your brake lights to become useless, though your brakes work perfectly. This has happened to my in my 89 Accord, and was fixed rather easily.
how did u pull the sensor thing off

How do you turn off headlights in a 1998 Oldsmobile silhouette when it is running?
You can only turn off the headlights by applying the emergency brake. When the emergency brake is on, the headlights will not light. Otherwise the best of my expererience is that they are on all the time. If you have remote start, put the emergency brake on before you leave the vehicle and when you remote start it, the headlights will not be on, but the driving lights (if switch is on) will be on as well as the parking lights.
