As I had the drivers side lower cover panel off for the servotronic mod, I decided to adjust the brake light switch. I was easy. You hold the retainer clip (with pliers ) while turning the white plunger switch (see photo - center of photo). Also disconnect the wire harness or it will twist it too tight. I had to twist the switch about 3 turns (Counter clockwise - look forward - moves switch to driver or back) and then push on the brake pedal to see how much travel was need for the brake lights to come on. Before I had to push the pedal about 3/4 of its full travel for the lights to come on. Now its set to about 1/4 of the way. Much better and safer.
