I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Express. It has the Quad Reflector headlights. I want to upgrade from the factory halogen bulbs but I would like to keep my Reflector housing as is. I have read that you should only do HIDs if you have the Projector housing. Can anybody help me?

Technically you "can" drop Hids into your reflector headlights and it will be brighter but the scatter is horrible and oncoming traffic will not like you.
I ran this exact way for a few months before I did my projector retrofit but I didn't do a lot of night driving so it wasn't so bad. Plus mine had to be turned way down.
Opt7 makes an led kit for about $100 that is better than halogens but I can't say as to how much glare they put off.

If you're looking for some examples of the LED Opt7 Kit, have a look at my album. I have the single bulb lights so I'm not sure how the quad headlights would do, but it at least gives you an idea of what they will look like from a driver's perspective. I didn't have to turn my down too much. I've only be flashed once and that was because I was going uphill and the dude was in a low Honda or something so, he wasn't too happy..
As for back roads and highway driving, I've not had one problem with other drivers being blinded but I do like the output. Also, with these LED's, you might have to play with them a little bit to make sure the lights are absolutely vertical. If you decide to go this route, message me and I'll help you further with this.
