On the backside of the brake pedal there is a switch. From the factory, CB's had a blue plastic piece that pressed in the switch. Over time, it deteriorates and falls off. Just got a nut/bolt to replace it.
Hardest part is looking for it. You have to lay your head down (where you feet go) and look up under the dash. It's "fun".

Your brake light switch under the brake pedal is stuck or broken

It could be the switch, or the little nub that presses the switch. The nub on my wife's 89 civic dx sedan broke off at the beach, and her lights were doing the same thing, I put a penny over the hole and wrapped it with duct tape a few rounds, it's been good for 2.5 years now.1989 cressida: Polycog diesel ultracharged, high tension muffler bearings, Manestically spaced pivot bearings, High definition halogen fluid, Flourescently scored bio-fuel seperator, flux capacitor and a Sega Genesis hooked up to a 9" b/w tv via cable to antenna converter.Comment

The same thing has happened to me today. I went to a doctor's appointment early in the morning and all was fine. When I arrived at work later and parked the car......the tail lights were still lit. I thought I left the lights on since it's been a rainy day......but that was not the case. I had no choice to disconnect the battery.
I was thinking along the lines of the brake switch behind the pedal since I remember changing it many years ago on a Camry. Will low brake fluid also cause that or is that only for the dash light?1992 Accord Coupe 5-SpeedComment

Like everyone else said, it's probably the switch.Comment

its not the switch, its the rubber part, just replace it with a bolt and a locknut , or just go junkyard get it, most honda has that, i got like 10 of them, lol , it works for brake and clutchComment

If you look at my last post.......today (after 5 months) I finally got to fixing this issue. Gotta admit......bolt / nut combo worked flawlessly. Took me about 5 minutes.
Many many thanks to Josh and Sleeper for suggesting an alternative.......it saved me from going out to the dealer and buying a switch.1992 Accord Coupe 5-SpeedComment
