Installation Instructions
Step-1. Raise liftgate (See Figure-1 on page 3) disconnect the (7) liftgate molding clips and remove the liftgate mold-
ing (See Figures 2, 3, and 4 on page 3) Note: Be very careful and make sure you pull the clips straight out as
the plastic retaining clips on the molding can break very easily!
Step-2. Locate and remove the (5) 13 mm 12 point socket nut fasteners attaching the rear spoiler to the shell (See
Figure-5 & 6 on page 3) Note: Be careful not to lose the center 12 point nut as it releases from the stud as it
can easily fall down inside the lift gate while you are trying to retrieve it through the hole in the lift gate.
Step-3. Push up firmly on the rear spoiler and disconnect the (4) spoiler clips shown in Figure 6 on page 3.
Step-4. Raise spoiler (See Figure-1) away from the vehicle to expose the Upper Rear Brake Light Electrical Connec-
tor and the Rear Window Washer Fluid Hose. Disconnect the Electrical Connector and the Washer Fluid Hose (See
Figure-7 on page 3).
Step-5. Remove spoiler from vehicle and lay it upside down on a protected surface to prevent scratches.
Step-6. Unplug the other end of the Upper Rear Brake Light Electrical Connector, carefully pull the red and black
wires out from under the wire retaining clip shown in Figure-8 on page 2 and pull the connector and wires back out of
the way (See Figure-9 on page 4).
Step-7. Position Citadel assembly over spoilers studs making sure the Citadel's Wires/Harness will not get pinched
(See Figures-10, 11, &12 on page 4), then reconnect the vehicle's Rear Brake Light Electrical Connector also mak-
ing sure the connector is fully engaged and the wires will not get pinched (See Figure-13 on page 4). Make sure the
rubber grommets are securely in the slots in the Citadel Brackets on each side of the rear brake light (See Figures-14
& 15 on page 4).
Step-8. Route Citadel's Cable under the vehicle's OEM square foam seal pad (See Figure-16 on page 4). Route the
cable following the existing wiring from the brake light assembly back through the hole in the lift gate (See Figure-17
on page 4). Route the Citadel cable through the vehicle's rubber hose (See Figure-18 on page 4) and route the cable
to the desired final destination.
Step-9. Position the spoiler back on the vehicle while pulling the slack out of the Citadel's cable.
Step-10. Reconnect the Upper Rear Brake Light Electrical Connector and the Rear Window Washer Fluid Hose.
Step-11. Position the Spoiler back in its home location, snap the (4) spoiler retention clips back into their respec-
tive holes, and thread the center 12 point nut onto the spoiler stud first, followed by the remaining 12 point nuts and
torque the nuts in the same sequence. Torque nuts to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Step-12. The light heads in the CELS version of the Citadel are all STEADY BURN ONLY and require the CELS
controller for power, lighting sequence, and flash patterns. See the Instruction Manual for the CELS-CC
Housing for wiring connections and flash patterns.
