Headlights

I have noticed a few f150s in my area that have the projector beam headlights with f150 inside the housing. I have the standard housing with halogen bulb. Are they better than the standard if so a good place to get them?

They are probably the factory HID's that were offered in 13/14. Yes, they are better than the stocks halogens quite a bit. You can find them at junkyards or ebay but be ready to pay a pretty penny! A cheaper option would be to retrofit your halogens with the retrofit source projectors. Or send them off to raptor retrofit.

The 2011 XL truck at work has projecters and Halogens they do focus the halogen bulbs better.

If you are going to that much trouble to add projectors to your halogen lights, you might as well spend the small amount extra and just go HID/LED projectors and bulbs.
