There is a big fat loom that goes from side to side along the radiator support and at each end there is a smaller loom going to the headlamps and another smaller loom branches off that for the foglamps. If you trace back the wires going to the head lamp you should find a spare branch on the way to the inch thick (25mm) loom.

will that go straight onto a globe or will i have to get a seperate plug??

There is a plastic screw cap that holds in a rubber boot but i think they only have to come off to change the bulb. the twin wires from the loom end in a black plastic plug which looks as though it just plugs into the back of the bulb although i haven't been able to pull it out to check without removing at least the battery clamps if not the whole battery ( I don't have very nimble hands).

Its raining and quickly getting dark over here (car is outside) - I'll have a look tomorrow if no-one beats me to it.

the globe is supposed to be a H3C

In that case you don't really need the plug (shown in the middle of the rubber boot) but just get a couple of terminals (like the yellow ones in the photo and crimp or preferably solder them to the ends of your wires and then push them on to the connectors sticking out of the bulb (just visible in the photo to th right of the bolt head in the middle left hand side).

No it shouldn't matter which way round the two wires go. When you turn the fog lights on the tail lights come on as well, but they are quite independent of the headlights. If the plug has been chopped off the fuse might have been pulled as well. Try turning the fog lights on and testing the wires with a meter or test light or just any old bulb (and/or have a look to see if the tail lights have come on - they are also independent of the ignition switch so you don't need the key on).
