If there isn't enough current draw on the wire then it may turn itself off thinking there isn't anything connected (this is an LED fog light which probably draws considerably less power). Likewise if there was a short it would also shut off to protect itself. If it is the former then a high wattage, low value resistor could be added between the orange wire and ground somewhere near the fog light to suck up some extra current.
