Not sure what you're planning - just some thoughts
Baltimoron,
Well, I've always had similar questions - will later part fit - when buying new bits for my Gen1 1999 XK8. I don't have a definitive answer to your question, but I would look closely at what you have first before you buy.
Not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but FYI you can get the front half lense unit separately from DCR (a lot cheaper than whole new headlamp unit.)
There is also a modification to avoid the common condensation issues (drill hole on inside and attach little rubber T piece.)
I attach a few pics below of when I did it on my 1999.
View of headlamp with front half removed. The Power wash is marked. You can check what connectors you have too behind the light bulbs.
Little T piece modification to vent the headlight unit to prevent condensation. Easier to fit with unit out.
My final result!
