IMO visibility in the rain at night is much improved over the OEM halogens. Lines and markings on the road and roadsigns seem to almost glow, they are much brighter and more visible than before. It is true that with cooler color temperatures there is less usable light. I chose 6000K because it provided a slightly cool blue look while maintaining great light output. Personally, I wouldn't go any higher than that, and would consider 5000K if I wanted whiter light.

Good Information from Cary 28. I successfully installed HIDs on my 2010 Fusion SE 2.5L. Mine does not have DRLs. I have a 6000K 35W Kit w/ a pair of BOW Cancellers for my lowbeams, and a 3500 35W Kit for my fogs. The install was fairly easy, and I just lifted the coolant reservoir out of the way, and reached my hand down through the opening to reach the passenger side headlight, rather than going through the wheel well. Here are pictures of the final product. A huge difference!
