I had same issue when I swapped out the booster. I found it to be the adjustment nut down by the brake pedal. I'm a fan of starting with simple solutions when I can. A quick few turns on the nut and back to normal.

I found it by noticing that when I physically pulled back on the brake pedal the lights went out.
