Brake light

I changed the brake pads (front) this weekend, took me around 30 min. Im so proud of myself! Only problem is you realy have to stomp hard on the pedal before the brake light come on. Any suggestions on how to get the brake light to come on earlier.

If your pedal is firm (meaning no air in the line) you probably need to replace the brake light switch.

The brakes are firm - no problems there. Braking effeciency has actualy increased. The problem is only that of the switch. Where do I find it? I looked underneath the pedal (after lifting the wooden board) but couldnt find a switch.
