He said his brake lights, not THE break light. [8D]

If they go off on real hard acceleration only, I'd check your brake switch. It's under the dash by the pedel. There's a pintel sticking out of it. Make sure it's touching the pedel at rest position. The brake switch works opposite from most switches. The lights are off when the pintel is pressed in (when the pedel is at rest) and when you push the pedel down the connection breaks and your brake lights go on. If they're going off under heavy load it may just need to be adjusted. Push the pedel down and take a screwdriver and slightly pull out the pintel... Other than that you're going to have to do some electrical diagnosing.

the light on the dash that comes on when you have the parking brake on also will come on if your low on fluid, itll turn off when you hit the gas or brakes or take a corner enough to make it slosh around

My light comes on under very hard, sudden braking. My brake fluid level is a little low, but not even close to being a problem... just because the pads are wearing down. Haven't had it come on in corners.
