I will order these and change all lights out, yes with the temperature you recommended. I don't like the ultra bright blue tint of the higher color temperature.
I just purchased a 2005 red roadster and am going through it. It only has 37000 miles on it so actually I am just tweaking all the little things.

Been reading this post and thought I would chime in by saying my lights had no 'cover' on them. I just plugged in the LED ones after unplugging the ones (incandescent), and then put the cover back on. Nothing like that 'lens' that is shown below. Maybe for the 2008's, they eliminated that 1/2 'lens' thing?
