Default LED in ES330 (Dash Brake Light ON)

Hi all, I'm new here and I do apologize if this is the wrong place to post. Feel free to point me to the right one if so.
I have a 2006 ES330 and I have been replacing most the bulbs with LED. Everything has been working fine until I get to the Brake lights. I purchased T20 Led bulb, red, supposed to replace 7440 and 7443 bulbs.
The problem is that while they all work, the brake light on the dashboard came on.
What I noticed: dash brake light came on when press brake, the rear brake lights are on dim when not pressed and brighten up when pressed, the third brake light (high mount, center, rear window) comes on when pressed but does not stay on when switch on all the lights. I do not remember if it supposed to stay on when not pressed since it's supposed to be a 7440 bulb according to the manual.
I plan to buy the normal bulb for the third brake light to test if that's the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestion? Should I use a different led bulb for the third brake light (I was using the same bulbs for all three, if that makes any difference)?
