How come you are doing all this splicing? I find that buying a connector that plugs into the stock harness (like these: http://www.scosche.com/scosche.caraudio) is completely worth it. One, you don't cut up the original harness, which can be a pain to restore. Two, you can do all the connections in the comfort of your house and then just plug the radio in. And it probably won't kill your headlights.
I also always solder the connections. I've had a lot of problems with butt connectors slipping off and connections oxidizing.
