Welcome to the forum.

 

What year C3 is it ? On the early and latest C3s the front fog lights fasten from the back of the bumper with bolts, so the blank in place of the lights is most likely to unclip from the back of the bumper. The easiest way to fit front fog lights may be to get some from a scrap yard (or such as ebay) complete with the supporting bracket  (if the latest C3) and the electrical connector and a bit of the wiring. Then wire it up with a relay and your own switch back on the dash.

 

If you prefer to have the lights working from the car lighting switch, then you need to see if the wiring loom is in place at the bumper, replace the lighting/wiping switch unit on the steering column with one that has the front fog light switch and possibly to have the car connected up to a diagnostic machine (Citroen type Lexia) to activate the lights - however, I am not sure about this. You may also need to check the warning light is in place on the dash/speedo unit - if you need to replace the speedo unit beware that fitting one from a higher mileage car may adopt the higher mileage to your car.
