Self Leveling Headlights

I did a search and have not been able to find out the info I need. I have a 98 C43 and when I turn on the headlights, only the left headlight goes up and down as a self test. My questions is are both headlights supposed to do the auto-leveling test at fire up or just the left side.

I have the kit from Bekkers and they do not come with motors. The do however come with vacuum levelers or at least the capability of them.

How hard is it to install the motor, switch, and all the wiring?
