To answer your question, the 6K may appear brighter, but the 5K kit will provide better output.
4300K is the best choice if you want performance over looks, but you shouldn't run into any problems with a 6K kit as it's still usable light. Anything over 6K and light output starts to decline.
Also, I'm from Easton, but spend a lot of time in West Bridgewater, Brockton, Randolph, Braintree, and around Boston.
and yourself?

Cool thanks, I heard that basicly the higher you go the better you can see but it doesnt "shoot" as far out. Like halegon will shoot farther than HID's but you can't see as good / they dont light up as much. Is that right at all? I think i may have mixed it up a bit. For the low beam i dont want to lose distance so i dont out drive my lights and have something unexpected pop out at me on the road my area doesn't really have street lights. So you think I should go with the 5kk or the 6kk?

Something like that. The light is initially brighter, but the light waves are shorter and will not travel as far.
There isn't much noticeable difference between a 5K and 6K kit besides the fact that the 6K kit will have a blueish/purpleish tint. Output will be nearly the same and if you aim your lights correctly, you shouldn't be able to notice the difference anyway.
You should look into doing a projector retrofit.

I live North Shore but I work in boston and hang north of the city. You got any pics of your set up? road or front end shots?
I though about the retro fit but i would want to do it myself, i'd buy pair already done or a pair of angel eyes or some similar aftermarket part.
