How do you not mess up ILS on parallel runways? There are many airports with ILS and parallel runways, how do you select which ILS for the runway you want?
For example there are RWY 22L AND 22R and both of them have ILS enabled. How does the pilot know on which ILS he is flying?

The two ILS approaches on parallel runways will have a different ILS Localizer frequency. The pilots will select the correct approach from the charts and then either manually tune in the correct frequency or (for more modern aircraft) select the approach in the flight management computer, which will then automatically tune the correct frequencies. Before actually flying the approach, the pilots will cross-check the morse code identifier either by listening to it or (for more modern aircraft) by reading it off the displays.
Below you can see the ILS charts for the Runway 27L and 27R approaches at London Heathrow (source). I marked the frequencies and the identifiers (as they will be displayed on the screen, the morse code is depicted below).

On the 737, the radios are tuned on the center console, just behind the throttle quadrant. The navigation radio tuner is just below the communication radio tuner.

Parallel approaches (or nearby ones) will be set up so that they do not interfere with each other and an ILS must be checked periodically to make sure that any deviations are within allowances.
