Installation Instructions: Tools Needed------10 mm Socket-------T25 Torx Driver-----Torque Wrench
NOTE: If you have purchased a CELS Citadel, skip steps 1 through 3 below!
Step -1. For the Standard version of the Citadel the light heads are smart versions (Flashing) light heads. Each light
head will need to be programmed to set the desired ash pattern. See the supplied instruction sheet that comes with the
light heads for setting and changing the light head ash patterns.
Step -2. Thread the wire connectors from each of the light heads through the oblong holes in the mounting brackets
then mount the light heads on the Citadel Brackets using the supplied mounting screws. Making sure the longest side
of the Citadel Wiring Harness is attached to the driver's (LEFT) side bracket, plug the light heads into the terminals of
the wiring harness. The length of the wires determines which plug gets connected to which light head (The longest wire
plugs to the light head farthest out from the center of the vehicle then the next longest plugs to the next light head etc).
Step -3. Using the supplied square adhesive mounting bases and zip ties, attach the Citadel Wiring Harness to the
inside of the Citadel mounting brackets to make sure the wires will be safely tucked inside the brackets when the installation is complete (See Figure -1). Important Note: Thoroughly clean all locations where the square adhesive
mounting bases will be installed with the supplied alcohol pads before adhering the mounting bases to the
brackets! Allow the alcohol to dry completely before applying the adhesive bases.

Step -4. Begin the installation by removing the (2) #25 Torx Screws on one side of the vehicle (See Item #1 in Figure -2
and see Figure -3). Note: It is highly recommended that you install one side of the Citadel at a time to keep the
rear glass and spoiler in alignment!
Step -5. Loosen the (2) 10 mm nuts on one side (See Item #2 in Figure -2 and see Figure -4).

Step -6. Using light pressure, separate the spoiler from the glass and slide the Citadel bracket into place (See Figure
-5. Make sure the 10 mm nuts are loose enough that you don't have to force the bracket in place. IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure the outside edge of the bracket is even with the outside edge of the glass (See Figure -6).

Step -7. Torque the #25 Torx Screws to 7 NM (62 Inch Lbs) and the 10 mm nuts to 9 NM (80 Inch Lbs).
Step -8. Repeat steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the opposite side.
Step -9. Attach the harness to the underside of the spoiler using the supplied square adhesive mounting bases and zip
ties to the areas shown (See arrows in Figure -7). IMPORTANT NOTE: Thoroughly clean all locations where the
square adhesive mounting bases will be installed with the supplied alcohol pads before adhering the bases to
the vehicle! Allow the alcohol to dry completely before applying the mounting bases. Make sure the harness is
securely attached up and away from the wiper arm or it could become entangled in the wiper arm.

Step -10. Open the hatch, remove the protective tape from the vehicle's OEM boot and route the CELS Cable or Stan-
dard Harness wires (which ever is applicable) through the boot as shown in Figure -8 Page 4. Note: It will require the
use of wire pull lubricant or liquid soap to aid in feeding the cable/harness through the boot. Pull out the slack
from the cable/harness making sure there is just enough slack to open and close the hatch and rewrap the boot
with appropriate tape to seal the boot back up.
