It's possible but I will not be doing it to mine. The company actually sells the part for $15 to make it easier and less wiring work, but I decided against it since my turn signals are already extremely bright and white.
My train of thought is that having it constantly on will look better and not as Audi or VW-esque.

Looks amazing man!!! How does the color of your fins compare to your Orions? Would it be possible to wire the fins thru the night controller as well?

Unfortunately it was slightly (maybe noticeably is more proper) off. The fins are whiter, while Orions have a bit of purple tinge to it.
I have gone ahead to fix this, haha. Was hesitant because I really didn't want to have to do more work, plus certain parts would have to be repainted, etc. But at the end of the day, since I really really doubt I will be reopening these again, I might as well spend an extra day or two and just have it right. (I might re-open if Umnitza wants to send me a NFR set of Orions v4 - nudge nudge wink wink)
As for night controller, in theory, yes. However, I have only seen the night controller only once and even then, the customer didn't end up wanting to use it, so I am not exactly sure how it would function and the load it can handle.
But for LCI cars, if the wiring is piggy-backing off of AE, and dimming isn't coded out, it would automatically dim anyway with low beam on. Although on second thought, it probably will have to be adjusted via coding because default drops it to somewhere around 5v, which would not be sufficient to light these babies up correctly.
However, if it is tapped into the unused connection on Orion's control box, in theory that should work.

Simon, you light whore! This is amazing work man.
