I would suspect that you've put a 6 volt bulb into a 12 volt vehicle.

If you just barely touch the brake pedal the brake lights will come on but the brakes will for all intent and purpose not be applied.
Why would the rear brakes of a 1996 Chevy Corsica engage very hard with the slightest touch of the brake pedal?
The rear brakes are called a dual servo brake system... it uses one shoe to activate the other in a braking situation. When the rear brakes are over adjusted the slightest touch of the brake pedal will cause them to engage. what is actually happening is your rear brakes are engaging before the fronts even get close. You need to either back off the adjusters yourself if you know how or take it to a garage and have them back them off.
1989 ford f150 rear brakes lock up when you barley touch the brake pedal what would cause this and what steps should you take first to fix the problem?
worn out brakes will cause this allowing the pistons not to return to correct adjustment.loose parts inside brake drum from will also cause this so if you inspect rear brakes with brake drum removed and this is not the problem, your master cylander is bad and not allowing fluid to return to resevoirr, therefor still keeping brakes expanded if this is the problem the it will get worse each time u use brakesuntill they stay locked up and you cannot move vehicle get brakes checked yesterday

Unless your car has been modified, or is faulty, the brake lights will go on when you touch the brake, wherever you're driving at that moment. Or are you perhaps thinking about the fog lights? These should be put on when visibility is reduced.

Check that the hand brake is not applied. Check the conditions of your brakes like the drums check if there any grooves or are hot to the touch. If you feel any grooves replaces brakes and lathe the drums or replace the drums aswell.
Why do the brake lights come on by themselves and stay on until you touch the pedal?
More information needed: What make model vehicle is it? Early VW'S had a pressure operated brake light switch that was on the master cylinder. When you pressed the pedal the pressure would cause the switch contacts to close; lighting the brake lights. Haven't see one of them in a loooooong time!

When my brake life is at 10 should they be replaced?
I have no idea what you mean by "brake life is at 10," but there is a way that I always know when to replace my brake pads. When brake pads wear down quite a ways, a metal clip will start to touch the rotor when you apply the brakes. It will cause a very loud squealing noise (metal clip on metal rotor), and it means that it is time to replace your brakes. It was designed that way. Once you hear the squealing, you can drive like that safely for weeks or months, but the squealing noise will be very irritating. If "brake life is at 10" means that you only have 10% of your pads left, then you should change them.
Brake lights don't work on 1982 Oldsmobile toronado?
You may have a bad brake light switch that is located behind the brake pedal. It is also possible that a wire is off on the switch. Check for power on the positive side of the switch and see if you have power to the other side of the switch when you touch the button. If you do, then you have a broken power lead to the brake lights or a broken ground in the trunk

How do you adjust the brake light switch on a1 996 Nissan Altima?
Get down on the floor board and look up at the brake pedal arm. You will see a switch that the arm hits when no pressure is applied to the brake. Twist the switch and adjust so when you barely touch the pedal the brake lights come on.
