Check bulbs - they are double filamented with smaller being used for brake lights Check stop light fuse Check the operation of the stop light switch - usually located at the upper end of the brake pedal
I have run into the same thing with this kind of car. On the steering column at the top they have a switch that will turn the running lights on or turn them off. check the switch you may have hit it and turn it on.
There is a switch on top of the steering column dead center. You must have accidently turned it on. It's a parking light.
There should be a switch on top of your steering column that turns on/off the "Parking Lights". Check to see if that is your problem. The switch should show red on the front of it if the lights are on.
If you missed a step you would know IF there is anything else wrong you probably did if not theres probably nothing wrong really just a bit odd...
There has been a factory recall on Subaru Impreza cars built through November 15th, 2011 for brake master cylinders. If one is concerned or unsure if their Subaru Impreza is affected in the recall, they should bring their car to a Subaru Dealer to get it checked out.
If your parking lights are on and your left brake light doesn't work, the brake may have burnt out. You might also have a wiring problem.

No , the rear brake lights do not turn on when you use your parking brake , just the brake light on your dash is supposed to come on
The rear tires except Subaru which does the front.
Fuse for parking lights probably blown.
Check your brake light switch located above the brake pedal. Check to make sure that the brake pedal rests against the switch. When the brake pedal is depressed than the lights should turn on, but when you let go of it, it should return up and meet with the switch.
It's in the fuse box under the dash. Look at the cover of the fuse box and it should tell you which fuse is brake lights and horn. On my Legacy it is the middle row, third one in, fuse 12 I think.
