The same thing happens on mine, i put it down to the electrical current draw of the servo as the brakes are applied. When i let go the brakes and the servo stops whirring, the lights go brighter.

How are spotlights wired in?

My old 2004 GS with servo brakes did this, I soon learned to hold the bike only using the REAR brake, as it would build servo pressure then cycle off preventing excess current draw. For some reason, the front brake keeps the servo pump running by design. With the rear brake held, you will feel the odd little kick back through the brake pedal when the servo pulses to restore pressure. You soon get used to it.
