Stupid me... radio harness/wiring question

OK. I'm an idiot.

I have a 2004 honda civic lx. I was swapping the oem radio for a sony something along with an amp and sub. My stupid move was cutting all the wires going into the harness adapter for the oem radio because I stupidly thought that those wires would match up in color to the half harness and adapter for the sony radio head.

So - where can I get a half harness and splice all the wires together to get this thing up and running???
Best Buy? Basically, I need to go FROM the Honda colors and wires TO the sony harness but the colors do NOT match up whatsoever.


HELP - MAJOR HELP.

How short did you cut ?? Can you match wire for wire and splice connectors back on ??

Someone mentioned Metra makes a factory connector harness.

www.the12volt.com has the factory colors.

Avoid using the illumination & dimmer leads if possible.

yes, metra makes a harness that replaces the factory one if it was cut off. put that on and then put an aftermarket adapter harness on the stereo. those colors will match your sony.
