Electrical geniuses, I have a challenge for you.

I considered moving my turn signal to the corner bulbs next to the headlights. For those who are unaware, the LX turn signal shares the fog light housing on the bumper. So, a while back I just clipped and switched the wires. Worked ok, had the "hyper flash" which was not unexpected bc I didn't add a resistor.

After deciding to return to the stock configuration, and disconnected and switched the wiring back.
I must have spliced something incorrectly, because now I have a weird issue happening. As near as I can tell, things function normally with one exception. When I push the brake, not only do the brake lights come on, but so do the "parking" lights and the dash lights switch to night mode. Other than that, all headlights, tail lights, turn signals, corner bulbs, etc work as they should.

So, any idea what could be causing this? I will be testing all connections starting with the wires I originally cut this weekend, but if you are a wiring diagram savant and can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
 
One other item I forgot to mention.
During this, I have detached my tow hitch. I unscrewed the ground screw for the trailer light assembly. I doubt that could be causing this, but just in case that has happened also.
