2015 RX Hood won't stay up. Should I go to Rock Auto to buy a pair of hood struts for $10 each with $10 shipping and install them myself?

I mistakenly bought an aftermarket set before replacing ours (older generation than yours).

There's a seller on ebay called liftstrutstore.  I've purchased from him 3 times--both the hood and tailgate struts on the RX350 and the tailgate on my Honda Pilot.  They all work great and  I think I paid like $24 a pair.  If you do it yourself (it's easy) make sure to prop it open with something stout that wont slip--it's heavier than it looks (especially the tailgate).  Do one side at a time.  Just pop them off with a flat screwdriver.  Wrap the screwdriver in a layer of duct tape if you are worried about scratches.  Also, put a rag over the back of the strut--when they pop off they can fly off there pretty fast.
