LED Guru's I need help w/ LED tails

I'm interested in making LED tails. i have read numerous article on how to do the math for the voltage, etc. I pretty much have it down. However, I would like to know what do i use or how do i wire it so that I can make the LEDs brighten up when i hit the brakes. My plan is to have 5 rows or 10mm LEDS. I want them all to to stay on constantly with the parking lights and when i hit the brakes they get brighter. What do i need to do for this to happen? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx
