What color is the wire for oil temp gauge and HVAC backlight?



AFAIK, all dash lights including the oil temp gauge light and HVAC have
a grey with blue stripe (+) and plain brown (-).  The oil temp gauge
itself has a black with green stripe wire.  Mine was also cut when I got
my car (87 16v) because the PO grounded the dash light circuit when he
installed his radio and began to cut wires when he couldn't figure out
why he didn't have dash lights anymore!!
