You might need front pads, depends on your driving style. Some people have replaced them as low as like 12k miles. Check your fluid level, if its a little low your brake light will also come on.

I changed the fronts at 19,000 just recently. I left the rotors even though the stock pads ate about 2mm into it and left a ridge at the tip of the rotors. I put on Hawks HP Ceramic. So far brake dust is gone.

man, you guys are hard on brakes!
My car is an Enthusiast, so no Brembo's. I put 30k miles on the front pads that came with my AP brakes, and had 41k on the rears (OEM) before I changed - rears still had about 20% left, fronts had meat but one pad developed a slight crack, so replaced them all
