I just successfully replaced all my binnacle lamps with LEDs (except the battery lamp, of course) and everything is looking and working great, with 1 exception. The 'brake' lamp is flickering at a very low level pretty much non-stop. I verified that it's the microswitch in the parking brake lever that's having issues, not the unit on top of the brake reservoir. The lamp illuminates normally when the parking brake is engaged or if I test the sender on the reservoir, but when I release the the brake it stays on at a low level.

I can't see any way to adjust the switch, anyone have any ideas?

Just replace the switch. Mine did the same thing, after I installed a replacement it was fine.
