Just remove the fuse from the 'detached' wire while you connect it.

on 206's with crystals as standard, that wire doesnt need to be connected to the +ve terminal btw.
It only affects when fullbeam+dippedbeam are on together so wouldnt affect a single optic not working.

I suspect your bulbs gone, If your car is pre 2001 you dont have to worry about the BSI shutdown and startup procedure, if your car is post 2001 you must shut it down correctly or you could kill it. You cant just unplug the battery from multiplexed cars.
My advice would be to research first before just plugging it into the battery. If things happen to go pop you will regret it
