Hella's modern Free Form (FF) lighting technology is the result of a highly sophisticated computer-assisted design system that perfectly coordinates the shape of the reflector with the light source, thus producing the most efficient possible light output. The fog lamp illuminates the roadway over a broad area without dazzling oncoming traffic, while the driving lamp produces a far-reaching, accurately directed light.

Hella FF lamps are available in Xenon and halogen models, in a variety of shapes to fit almost any vehicle. Clear lens design is a hallmark of FF design and provides a clean look on the vehicle.

Many of the Hella FF Series lamps include our improved Fast-Fit mounting system, now featuring a metal bracket for excellent durability. Fast-Fit makes installing quick and easy on molded bumpers, air dams, or brush guards. Aiming is a breeze, and the system maintains an extremely tight grip on the lamp to keep beam placement accurate.

I just copied and pasted from another site. I did not find the 500 FF's, but I did get the info on what "FF" means.

I just put mine on today. I didn't get to finish wiring them but I will let you know when I do.

The only real difference I saw between the 500's and the 500ff's was that the ff's have a smooth looking lens. I liked the way that they looked better. We will see how they work.

I'm in the market for some lights. Those sound neat, but expensive.

$67 really isnt bad for a set of lights w/ the relay, switch, and all the wiring required. The regular Hella 500's are probably the cheapest halfway decent lights on the market.
