Today I noticed that my handbrake light indicator does not go off when my handbrake is released.
Anyone know how to fix it ?

Most likely your brake fluid is low. Check it. The handbrake light doubles as a brake fluid indicator.

pull you hand brake up Look closely at the light. with the engine running and the car in P or Neutral, take the handbrake off . if the light Dimms slightly then its a problem in the master cylinder warning system.
if it does not dimm then you handbrake light switch is stuck on.

if your brake fluid id full then more than likely your master cylinder cap has filled with brake fluid, just unplug one of the wires going to the cap and see if the light goes out.

It must be the brake fluid is rather low.
But I havent tested it yet I'll do it tomorrow morning.

That's right

Standard honda light for low brake fluid is the handbrake light.
