I can't think of anything that would cause your symptoms.

I'm curious as to why you would go to smaller (less ampacity) wire.

I'm no electrician but I figured if the wires attached to the fog lamp were 18 gauge, it would be better to use the same gauge. It made sense in my head

Ah. A reasonable conclusion if one is not an electrician. As long as it will physically fit, a wire can't be too big - although it may be a waste of wire. The bigger 16 ga wire would theoretically be better but, in your situation, it shouldn't make enough difference to matter.

These guys got it done...it's near the end of the video but 3 flashes then off. Parking lights are on, job well done!
