How can you get your brake lights to work when you apply the brake?
The first thing that I would do is look at the arm of the brake pedal and make sure the arm is pressing against the brake switch, press the brake pedal with your hand and see if the switch head goes in. Also if you have someone with you have them watch the brake lights and use 2 fingers and press the head of the switch in and ask if the brake lights are on,it may be that the switch is bad. this would be step 1. depending on how old the vehicle is you may have a broken 12 volt wire or a ground wire, if your turn signals work and your taillights work I would first check the brake light switch. i have never seen 2 brake light bulbs go bad at the same time.

Once you started the car the first time you brake you would have to rarely touch the brake to stop then the second time you brake you would have to press really hard what's wrong?
When you hit the brake hard 2 times in less than 3-4 seconds it is normal, because the pump doesn't have enough time to build up pressure. If there are at least 3-4 seconds between the first and the second pressing of the pedal and you still have this problem, may be the pump isn't working well.
