Default Brake light delay

I noticed when I step on the brake gentle enough to be slowing down the brake lights don't light up until I press a little bit further. I'm not sure if this is the way its supposed to be.... Is there any way to make it more sensitive?

thanks

look under the dash at the brake pedal, now follow the bar that the pedal is mounted on under the dash. You will notice a blue switch with a red button (colors may very depending on model) that comes in contact with the pedal arm. This switch has two nuts on each side of it's mounting bracket, I think there about 12mm??. If you back off the nut that is toward the rear of the car 1/2 turn then tighten the other nut this may work, if not repeat the last step 1/2 turn at a time untill the light illuminates to your liking. Hope this helps, if not PM me and I will give you a SOBER explanation.
