Brake pedal bushing is probably a little too tight on the clutch pedal shaft.

It worked 6 months ago fine could the brake booster Be bad and the rode that gose to the brake pedal might not be decompressing Making the Clutch pedal and brake pedal act as one

Your brakelights should NOT come on when you step on the clutch. And, I highly doubt that new vehicles would have that feature, for the simple reason that the brake lights would come on EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT GEARS (unless, of course, you have a really good ear, and really good timing, and can shift without stepping on the clutch).
