"BRAKE" light stays on!?!??

After installing my new Tanabe GF210's and Tokico Blues up front on my IS300, my e-brake ("BRAKE") warning light stays on even witht he e-brake down. What did I mess up or jiggle around that could've caused this?

Not sure if this is the case but on my older cars when the brake light stays on it means to add more brake fluid.

yup... brake light can be on due to low brake fluid... I would double check your brake hoses in the front wheel wells...

Checked my brake fluid reservior yesterday and it's at max level...

All I did was jack up the front, swap out the suspension and put it back together. Once I turned on the car without touching the rear suspension, that light just turned on, and stays on. How about ABS sensors??? No??
