Default Hawkeye speedo in blobeye not working

Hi I've just bought some defi style STI clocks/speedo to fit in my blobeye STI, but they don't seem to be working. Now I've trimmed the plug as required but as soon as I turn the ignition on the clocks light up but don't actually work. The buzzer is going off, but there is no opening seromony and no mileage or temperature, the rev counter and speedo don't function at all.

The Sti plugs are upside down compared to the wrx ones, should just be a case of turning them round

You will have a couple of lights stay on though, ABS and rear diff temp, and you can snip the wire to silence the buzzer if it continues

I have an STI you can't plug them in upside down as the is a locking clip. I have DCCD and the same ABS as the hawk as my car is a widetrack

Are they the mph uk clocks or the import ones? Import ones are plug and play with turning plugs around where as the uk ones need a wire cutting abit more fiddling with the plugs or you will be getting a constant buzzing sound and no function

U.K. Clocks will need a wire snipping can't remember which one if you contact a competent garage they will be able to inform you which wire needs cutting, I contacted Brian @ cams performance who advised me on the fitting procedure and it was very easy and straight forward but that was over 4years ago so I can't remember which wire it was sorry

I know which wire for the buzzer that's not really the issue, it's why they don't work, just illuminate

You have to trim the plug then turn it upside down and it works as gaz mentions above.
I did it the you need to add a relay for the abs light .
I did it ages ago.

I've already trimmed the plug before installing. I've read the guides on fitting. The plug will only fit one way due the the locking clip, or are you saying trim that also?

Yeah I've trimmed the guides off and it plugs in fine. A mate has just bought a set also off a hawk and tried them and they worked perfectly, it looks like the set I have bought at faulty
