Question good source for bonnet lift struts?

Hi all -

I was just doing a bit of a checkover of fluids etc when I was nearly decapitated by my bonnet flying down at full force - apparently the air struts that hold them up have leaked whatever magic they have inside.

Does anyone know of a good source for these, other than the dealership? aftermarket is OK, and prefer if they are sold in pairs so I only have to do it once.

2005 XJ8L

thanks in advance!
