did the boosters use the same linkage? You may just need to adjust the switch, it touchs the brake pedal shaft under the dash.

check your switch, the pedal may have shifted a bit.

Loosen the bolts just a little where the MC attaches to the booster and see if the lights go out. There needs to be a bit of clearance in there, and it also needs to be in the proper alignment. If loosening the bolts shuts the lights out, the linkages are binding.
