So if you purchase a plug and play HID kit then there should be no worries.
But throw in some crappy wiring job by a hack with a non plug and play HID kit and flames away.
In Jareds case, who knows what happend, Maybe it was not made for his car and he wired it up wrong.

I disagree.
When you go to ignite the HID bulb, the current can double or even triple the amount needed compared to when it's completely on. This load can, over time, melt the wiring jacket around the stock wiring. This happens so fast that it will not blow the fuse. That is why you should install larger gauge wiring hooked up the battery and use a relay to tap into the existing wiring for the headlights.
