well I just finished the tail chop and put in an integrated tail light, but now the brake light is stuck on.  At least the indicators work.  Going to get dirty with it again tomorrow... any suggestions?

Test the wires.  Some/One of the manufactures color code the wires wrong.

Or put the bulb in backwards.  Or, perhaps, coincidence.  If the bulb is in correct and wiring is also correct, disconnect each switch to isolate the problem.

Disconnect the switches as Howie said. It happened to me. I took my light off at the track and when I put it back on at home the light wouldn`t shut off. Somehow the rear brake switch shorted out. I disconnected it and it and it worked fine with the front. One day I might even replace the rear switch.
