Hey this has been bothering me. Ever since I bought my car whenever I touch the brakes, my parking lights turn on too and turn off when I let go of the brakes. I figured it was bad wiring from previous owner. I do see alot of disconnected wires...

sounds like you have a grounding problem. Check for voltage drop and continuity.
