Looking to upgrade my high beam to LED on a 2021 Kia Seltos (HB3/9005, halogen reflector housing - not a projector).

Came across the Woodman 3-in-1 LED - switchable 3000K/4300K/6500K via remote (newer model has app brightness control too). The flexibility looks great on YouTube, but demos only show new units, so I want feedback from people who've actually lived with it:

• Durability: How's it held up over 6+ months? Any remote/electronics or fan failures? Does output stay stable after warm-up?
• Real road performance: How's the beam/throw on an actual highway at night - especially in a reflector housing? Any glare complaints from oncoming traffic?

The alternative I'm weighing is the Auxbeam GX Pro 190W - single 4300K, no color switching, but seemingly a longer track record.

If you've run either for a while, I'd value your honest take: is the Woodman's color flexibility worth it, or should I go with the simpler, more proven option?

Hey folks,

I want to upgrade my Kia Seltos headlights to LEDs, but the bulb is longer than stock, so the original dust cap doesn't sit flush anymore. I need the extended version of the dust cap to seal it properly.

Car details:

• Make & Model: Kia Seltos HTK D1 5 6MT (2021)
• Bulb type: 9005

What I'm looking for:

• Extended dust cap roughly 1.5" to 2" deep (approx 38–50 mm) to clear the LED heatsink/fan

Two questions:

1. Does anyone have a spare lying around they'd be willing to sell/ship?
2. If not, does anyone have a 3D model/STL file for it that I could use to 3D print one?

Happy to pay for shipping or the file. DM or comment. Thanks!

First loaf in my new bread machine (American Micronic AMI-BM3-550WDx) came out dense - used maida (~10% protein). Manual asks for "high-gluten flour" but imported bread flour costs ~₹160/kg here.

At home we buy MP whole wheat (~₹44/kg) and get it milled at a local chakki (₹10/kg milling). MP wheat (sharbati) is reportedly ~11–13% protein - close to bread flour territory by protein. The problem I understand is the bran cutting gluten strands and making the loaf dense.

My plan: ask the miller to sift out the bran during milling, giving me a white-ish flour with germ retained - closer to bread flour than maida, and far cheaper. Total cost ~₹54/kg vs ₹160/kg for imported bread flour.

Questions for anyone who's tried this:

1. Does sifted home-milled MP wheat actually perform like bread flour in a bread machine, or am I being optimistic?
2. How much bran should ideally be sifted out - should I ask for a specific sieve mesh size?
3. Anyone compared sifted home-milled wheat vs maida + vital wheat gluten (1–2 tbsp per 300g)? Which gives a better crumb?
4. Should I just use Program 5 (Whole-Wheat) with unsifted atta and accept the denser loaf as a different bread, rather than chasing a white-bread crumb?

Looking for practical experience, especially from Indian home bakers using bread machines. Thanks!
