My CCFLs (I had 4 rings total) made it through half of the winter before they started to burn out. And they weren't crap quality either.
....A lot of my Audi Buddies did this with various kits available over the years. Long term life on the CCFL's is not good. Unless you enjoy taking your headlights apart on a regular basis and the expense of regular replacements, I'd skip and go LED..
