This video explains how to remove and replace the brake light switch on a Ford Focus. Once you locate the brake pedal, it will be easy to find the switch you need to replace: just follow the metal rod of the brake pedal to the top of its connection point under the dashboard.

The brake light switch is mounted directly behind the brake pedal rod. Simply move it from its housing using only your hands, then disconnect the electrical connection by pressing with your index finger and thumb on the clip of one of the two terminals.
