The switch you are looking for is mounted on the firewall in the engine compartment. It is installed into the brake line block and should have just one wire attached. Follow you brake line from the master cylinder to the brake line block and you should see the unit. The switch is operated by the pressure in the brake lines. As far as I know the switch is not ajustable, and will require good pressure to activate. I just bled my whole brake system and put in new fluid but I can't tell any difference in how much pressure is required to get the brake lights to come on.

Hope someone else out there can share more insight.
