My braking light were always on because a bad switch on the master cylinder. I replaced the bad switch, but now every time I begin to break the warning brake light turns on. If I break harder it turns off. It looks like that the 2 switches aren?t opening and closing at the same time. Do I have to replace both when one of them is bad?

You are correct; one of them is closing at a slightly different time/pressure. You could replace one at a time and see if that fixes it.
The new replacement switches are of terrible quality; this is a common problem.

Solved! I bought a new switch to replace the new one and now it is working fine The first switch I bought the plastic part of the switch was white. The last I bought the plastic is black as the original.

72 Super 1302Forgive the sarcasm, but I despise those lights- always had one problem or another with the warning light on my '71. For a quick fix, you could always unplug the warning light and tape the wire. Just don't do the same with your oil light.

No need. Either the wire connection is loose or the bulb is out on my bug's warning light. I've noticed that one of the speedo lights is coming on and off too. I guess after I get done with refurbishing the doors and painting a few more areas, I will redo the wiring. :)
You don't fix it...you simply hide it!!! ;-
