I think they are self-leveling. You may want to check and make sure there's no damage to the headlight assembly mounting points. It could turn out to be an issue that may require the dealership.

I have a hard copy of the document specifically for the R230.

Check here, for some help: Page 6 for R230

Good article but what model does an 03 SL500 have? I didn't see that on the sticker on the light itself.
