Default IPF Lights to Low Beams?

I currently have my IPF 968 lights wired into my high beams, would there be any problems with wiring it into my low beams?

i did it with mine. works just fine. the only reason they say high beems is so you cannot turn them on while driving through the city

Technically, the IPFs are illegal to run on the road no matter what.
Just don't light them when there are other vehicles around. I have all my supplemental lights wired to be live with just parking lights.

JW Speaker 8700 LED headlights, Truck-Lite 7" LED spotlights, & Truck-Lite 4" LED floodlights.

Unless you are going to use one of the OEM lighting circuits for a trigger. I suggest using an accessory circuit for a control source. IE; M8 fuse holder or the switched cig lighter circuit.

I wanted to be able to turn mine on whenever I wanted so I attached both wires to the battery. they've been that way for about a year now with no problems.

As long as you are aware that the lights could accidently be turned on while the Jeep is off.
