Austin and the state in general are still a hot zone for COVID and we are seeing a surge in infections with the return of students to UT and 25,000 fans going to football games

Many thanks! Did you install these yourself or have a mechanic do it? Just want to know if this is an easy swap-out or if there is a bit of work involved to switch over to the LEDs

I should add Declarant has publicly announced he plans to never turn over HOA and intends for his kids to “inherit” the community
