need help installing new stereo

I'm trying to install a new stereo in a 95 hardbody. Can somebody tell me what the different color wires going into the stock connectors are?

Thank you very much for any help,
Richard

I'm about to cut my stock harness out, I don't need it now that I'm using an external amp, Just 4 wires to hook up to the existing wires.

but don't cut it out, what if you want to go back to stock later on?

honestly don't care. My car's wiring is far from stock anyway, it's just more clutter for me.

Yea, I already cut into the stock harness I'm afraid. Why is that not a smart idea? I just needed to connect the ignition and battery wires, right?

Thanks.

I have the Main (+) wire, the Ground wire, the ACC signal, and the interior lights signal (to dim the face).

well its not that it's a bad idea, but if you ever want to sell your car and transfer your stereo over to your new car it would have been much easier to just unplug the harness from your current cd player and plug the harness right into the stock one instead of having to re-splice all the wires.
