The lights work through a brass switch in the pedal housing. I have had to replace this 3 times with new switches because they fail after about a month. Anyone had this problem or can advise what to try?

Check to see if the switch is in too far, the switch needs to be in so that the lights just go out when the pedal is released plus a couple of mil for safety.
If the pedal is resting against the switch under the force of the return spring you could be stuffing your switch.
