It must be the bumper as the fog and reversing light is flashing aswell

It will be your earth, I bet you painted your bumper before fitting it? it will have insulated it from the body work, like darrell said run a cable from the bumper..... or the light fittings themselves, and attach them to the body work making sure you clean all paint off at your connection point, generally I like to use a crimped lug, and a nut & bolt with a washer, if you want to protect the connection & keep it good, you can put a bit of vasaline on the contact faces, this prevents air getting in & corroding the joint, it also keeps it lubricated..... but the vasaline is optional!

I agree with every one earth, I have the same bumper as you and had the same sort of problems. I just lowered one side and cleaned it up with some emery paper

Other option if earthing the bumper doesent work is that you have a poor main chassis earth. This will only affect the resr as the fronts are earthed to the body.
