The U.S. Naval Observatory

is a source I trust.  It gives the following (precision to the minute)

                   d  h                      d  h  m           d  h  m
2000                        2000
 Perihelion  Jan   3 05    Equinoxes  Mar   20 07 35    Sept  22 17 27
 Aphelion    July  4 00    Solstices  June  21 01 48    Dec   21 13 37

so it appears that your values are better.

It's a morbid observation, but if everyone on earth just stopped
breathing for an hour, the greenhouse effect would no longer be a
problem.        -- Newsweek Senior Writer Jerry Adler, December 31, 1990
