Sounds like the adapter is wired up wrong.
Remove the relay in it, and see if the fuses blow still

If you want the dipped beam to stay on when the main beam is, then yes

MOT failure if its not working
You dont need adaptors with a relay to go from H4 to H7 on a 206 anymore, that problem is solved much easier

Until you drive down an unlit country road & go for main beam
total waste of timing fitting crystals if you cant be bothered to wire them up correctly
