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.

But the brake lights are brighter than parking lights on all OEM vehicles....

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

After 2.5 years I still havent finished them because of work or traveling or just laziness. They will be finished soon and debut at the Wekfest Texas show coming up.

This is the mockup

It will look like this but with LEDs and new lenses
