Default Question about Hella's

I recently discovered that my local walmart carries Hella 500's and I just got paid this week. I saw two different types of lights there were just plain 500's and then there were 500ff's whats the difference's and what should I go with? I want a good set of fog's cause I like to be able to see stuff at night, but I also want some powerfull *** drving beams for when I get to use my brights. My high beams are good but don't meet my standards for lighting since my nightvision sucks so bad. I looked at HID's but I do not want to pay 600 bucks for freaking headlights.

Whats the difference between the free forms and the regulars? Is it a different beam pattern or something, or is one a driving light or fog light?

I guess I could always put the regular 500's on the crossmember and then hang some PIAA driving lights from the top of the grill?

Do you think there is enough room for the Hella's on the crossmember and then PIAA driving lamps hanging from the top? If not I could try having all four side by side?
