Kohinoor: yea, they are the same brightness

Hmmm wouldn't that be posing a threat of being rear ended if the guy behind can't differentiate btwn parking light/brake light at night?

the parking lights on these (oem #194 bulb - single filament) dont get brighter when the brakes are applied. only the brake light (bottom) comes on when the brakes are applied. i dont see how it would pose danger to me in any case, especially since they come like this from the factory.

That means that either your parking lights are too bright, or the brake lights are too dim....

Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome mod, I'd just hesitate before doing it to my own car
