Wiring diagrams are in the factory service manuals, as well as the Haynes manuals.
If you are trying to install an aftermarket stereo, the colours will not match the factory harness. The best bet is to buy a harness adapter so you don't have to cut the factory harness. But if it has already been cut, then check with the wiring diagrams. Also, I suggest running NEW speaker wire. The stock wire is very thin and may connect to stock amps depending on the model.

alright man here ya go....
What are the wire colors for adding aftermarket radio
LTBlue/Red= 12v+
LtBlue/White= +Accessory
LtBlue/Yellow= -power ant trigger
Red/Black=+ Lumination
White=Factory Amp Turn on
Ground to the body, use the 10mm bolt behind the center console front drivers access panel.
Do not use the Red/Black as ground it will damage the interior light circuit and dimmer in the car
Front Speakers (maximum of a 15 watt peak from the radio):
LtGreen/Red= Left
LtGreen/Black= Left
LtGreen= Right
LtGreen/Yellow=Right
Rear Speakers
Brown= Left rear
Brown/White= Left Rear
LtBlue= Right Rear
LtBlue/Orange=Right Rear

Don't hack it. Do it right.
And yes, that info above was copied directly from the FAQ. Good lesson, eh?
