From what I've found mate, the easiest way is to unclip the plastic covers and pull them off. Simple really.

Very carefully as the clips on the lens are easily broken.
Its normally safer to unclip the complete lamp unit on the hatchback 206's to make removing the lens a lot easier, on the CC its a right swine to get to as it means removing plenty of clips to get the trim of just to release the lamp unit.

There cheap enough brand new from Peugeot / Citroen & they come with the bulb to 
It used to be cheaper to buy a new lamp unit then go to Halfords & buy the bulb

i used a flat tip screw driver and with very little force, a wedge would pop it out easy. no risk of breakage, swap the bulbs and clip back the cover.
pivot and push on the flat side of the cover not the rounded side
