The DRL thing may be aftermarket. My 07 WRX did it, but my 04 STi does not, so I think it started on the 06/07 generation.

Check the pads as Scotty said. If they still have meat then your fluid needs to be topped off.

may not even have to do with brakes... alternator could be toast. on mine, the alt was burnt crispy and it put on the brake light after the battery fell below somewhere like 10volts. other cars do this too, like mitsubishi

Re: "brake" light on the gauge cluster wont turn off
it's not the alternator, when the battery and brake light come on then it's the alternator.
