Also, it could possibly be something other than wires. I don't know how the del sol's brake systems are set up as far as the lights, but I had the same problem on my CRX. My brake pedal had a piece of plastic, protruding out to hit a switch when the pedal wasn't being pushed, which shut the lights off, and when you hit the brake pedal, the switch is unpressed and the lights come on. Anyway, my little plastic piece broke, and I realized it right before I dug into the wires. I took a screw, and put it in one of those dry-wall plastic screw things, and shoved it in there. Worked just fine.
