JDM tails question. Only 3 light up? Options

[kcizzle]

I just installed my JDM tails tonight.. To check if they are working, i turned on the ignition and i noticed that when on the park position, one light on the driver side tail does not light up but both the passenger tails, lights up. I am talking about the red lights so only three lights light up but when i step on the brake all of them light up brighter. Is this normal or should all 4 of them light when i'm in park position?

Um I feel stupid now. I took off my JDM tails last night to install my LED bulbs and found out I actually have 5 bulbs in each.
2 - 1157 - Brakes and night time illumination.
2 - 1156 - Back up lights and Blinkers
1 - what looks like a 194 - this is the one from the stock USDM harness that I used for lighting up the white corners of the JDM tails. This one lights up with the headlights like the brake lights do but doesn't get brighter [obviously] when you hit the brake.
BTW - the Red LED 1157s look way redder than stock [less orange-ish] which is what I was going for but unfortunately they are not quite as bright as stock. It's also harder to tell when you hit the brake cause they don't get much brighter when you hit the brake. I only did one side so I could take pics tonight and show you guys what I mean. I'm still debating whether or not to take them back. I'll post pics tommorrow.
