Just did it. Buy Stabilus struts, it is what Lexus uses in the build prcess. Find them online and pay 1/2 or less than from Lexus dealership. Easy to do. You need something support the hood and a small flat bladed screwdriver. On the old struts you will need to pry the small spring clamp off to remove from supporting stud. Installing....just line up to the stud and snap them in.
