It will fit.

The headlights changed SHAPE in 1997, and went from an ordinary lens to a crystal lens in 1999.

So long as your "new" light comes from a UK car, (assuming you are in the UK), there'll be no problem.

The shape of the lamp looks right. Only question is if it has electric or manual levelling. I'd guess that both cars have electric levelling... But it's a pure guess.

If imported from Japan then it will be fine, they drive on the right side of the road and the year my99 and 00 cars should match up

How did the reflector part break?
It will fit, as people have mentioned, but if its not an electric adjust one, worst ways you could take the reflector part out and swap that.
