When you say you think you "burnt your wiring", is the insulated sleeving on the wires really burnt? If so, you may have shorted something and caused a lot of current to run through that wire causing it to "burn". Take a look at your owner's manual and find the fuse associated with the light you are working on (DRL, foglight, HID, etc). If the fuse is blown, replace it with another fuse of the same amperage, reinstall the stock light back on, and see if the light turns on. If not, you may have to take the TL in for troubleshooting and potential repair.

I'm glad you were able to get your car back to its original state and operating. Good luck with round two of the installation after you get the relays.

If you can explain your situation in more detail , some of us may be able to help you out.

A lot of members here have experience installing HID kit on their own.
