No clue, mate.  Since the two switches are in parallel, the only
plausible scenario I can see would be for one switch to fail open and
the other to partially fail.  The two brake lights together run about
40 watts, so in theory there's enough available energy to heat up a
switch that had the right amount of extra resistance on the contacts.

But I vote for pixies...
