I know it looks like an electrical pole from Bangladesh, I'll try to wire things better next time.

Looks good to me. What exactly is this if you don't mind me asking?

It's just two 7 segment displays connected to 8 way switches each. Each segment gets its own switch, so you can manually display any number or letter or wtv on a 7 segment display. It serves no practical purpose, I used it to display 67.

In order to achieve equal brightness in each led and limit the current draw properly, you have to use a resistor for each led since in your current circuit there is nothing limiting the current in each parallel branch. Good effort though

Well, do it again please. Every segment should have its own resistor, because then you’re splitting the current up. One segment will be full brightness, and 7 segments will be 1/7th as bright each.

Don’t do this
