Default Headlights and fog lights
Could my fog lights being tied into headlights cause lamp out and headlights not to work?

Instead of running them straight off of the headlight wire run a relay off the headlight wire to activate the fogs, it'll be less load on the headlight circuit.

Yeah, you need to wire them up properly using a relay and a switch. You can cause your wiring to burn up that way.
