No engine power when headlights on!

Is there any way my foglight install could cause this? I tapped into the green (tail light) and red(brake light) wires from the left tail-light. Grounded to the consolidated ground just in front of that tail-light. The foglight works normal. No dimming of either the foglight or taillight. All connections were soldered and heat shrink tubing applied. All wires were taped in bundles and put in split loom which was further taped end to end. There is no way anything is shorting.

Either you link the Fog light to the Tail lights, Brake lights, Reverse lights but not all together. Unless you do some modification to the Fog light with a two fillament bulb.
