:werd:

By "parking lights" you mean brake lights? If so that's normal on any car...

When your driviing at night, and you have your normal lights on then you press the brakes, do the lights on your tail lamps get brighter?
If not you have a wiring issue.

Are you talking about the front turn signals? My s13 does that too, if I press the brakes they come on. Thanks for reminding me I need to look into that.
