I just put some front speakers in a 96 Tacoma. The + for the right side says lt green, the factory wiring has this going to the - of the factory speaker. Did they mess up? The driverside polarity was correct

Even if they did, it's not going to break anything. Listen to it, if they SOUND out of phase, reverse the wires on the passenger side speaker. Issue averted! :)

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

It is common for wiring guides to be wrong, that is why we stress that everything be verified before hooking it up.
