Thanks guys...that will be an easy fix as I already have the wires running that way, I'll just need to switch the one white over and connect it to the black. From there, am I okay to run the next three lights in series?

With the 14 vs 12, my lights are the only thing that are on 14, I think all my outlets are on 12 (I will double check to make sure). If my outlets are still on 12, am I okay running the 14 to the lights??

Technically, if you have 12ga wire, you should swap the breaker to a 15A.

If you pull 20amps thru the 14 wire it will heat up and it is a great way to start fires. A 15amp outlet will not accept a 12 gauge wire in the back stab holes for this reason. The other fixtures can attach to the same wire as the first fixture. I have seen melted oulets with 20amp breaker-14/2 wire-15 amp outlets.
