If its like other Citroens (going back to BX or more) there will be a special wire which simply plugs into the NS rear light unit. This will have a socket which has a cut-out for the car rear fog lights when the trailer is connected.

I did see some special wiroing in Halfords - and the Indespension and Towsure websites may help. Your friendly main dealer may be able to help as well.

A C3 is multiplexed, Very easy to cause some expensive damage if you wire it up incorrectly!

Either use the kit that Citroen can supply or ask a friendly towbar man who knows about CAN / multiplexing.
