Default Hood Struts

Hey guys,
I did a quick search and didn't quite find what I was looking for, so I guess no one has really encountered this problem.
While refilling my windshield wiper fluid, I found out my hood struts are out. Does anyone know the replacement part for a 2002?
I had to change out the ones on my trunk, but I think the parts are different. Thanks for any info.

Sewell has the parts online at http://lexus.sewellparts.com/oem-cat...C430-2002.html and NO I don't work for them but they do offer discounts to CL members.

Just to let you all know, I just replaced my hood struts, I wasnt to keen on spending 80+ on a hood shock that sounded rediculous to me, so I found a shock that is the same size on ebay, "Hood Lift Support Jeep Grand Cherokee 2005 2006 2007". all I did was take out the ball joint from the old one at the bracket, and reused that on these new shocks, cost me 20.00. works great.
