13 without lighting package... halogen to led?

Hey guys got back into a benz. No lighting package...wifey didnt want it. so i was thinking of switching to LED. i searched and didnt find any info so i have some questions.

Well I mean these led light bulbs are bad retrofits be jade of there the diodes are located. This one is different than other that just out a bunch of LEDs all over the place. But this one only seems to shine down. Regular halogens shine all around and the reflector focuses the beam.
With this bulb only one half do the reflector would receive light and diminish your light output a lot.
These are double sides but you lose some of the sideways light you going onto the reflector.
