Most of the time there is a small black2 pin jack behind the socket which you can plug into a multitude of cigarette lighter adaptors from the likes of halfords/ebay to get a fully functioning 12v port.

If on the other hand you already have a socket but no wiring you have the option of either tapping the 12v from the head unit wiring, or routing a new +12v wire from the fuse box, the earth wire you simply secure to the cars bodywork.

Hope that helps

P.S. there is a guy on ebay who goes by the name novarob who is always taking corsas to bits, I've had all sorts of clips and bits off him for the price of postage in the past, send him a message I bet he's willing to post you the socket and wiring for a small fee.
