HID kits use less power when compared with incandescent lights and output more light as well. This is why they are becoming more popular.
A basic wiring kit should be fine and not burn out, especially it is is designed for incandescent bulbs.

Just make sure you know what the amperage rating of the exact kit you have is, and the amp rating on the wires. Also, be careful of the eBay branded HID kits, because some of them actually use ridiculous amount of power because of bad designs and crappy parts...
