This might sound like a really stupid question  , but how do you change the bulbs? Do you have to take the whole bumper off or do the lights just pop out?! As you can tell, I'm not very hands on with my car

Go in from your wheel arch, there's a little flap you open and you can see it. It's in a housing with a 'lid' on it that you twist and then you have access to the bulb! easy!

You can unscrew the arch liner and there's a 10mm (i think) bolt that holds the fog light in, undo that and unplug it and itll slip out. You then just take the cap off the back and change the bulb.
Then, just do the reverse to put it back in

Not all 206's factory fitted with front fogs have the access flap in the arch liner.
My 03 GLX does have flaps, my mate who had a 04 XSI didnt
