RE: Sub panel and rotary-button replacement for Levin -> Trueno conversion
The first sketch I did was based off some pics I found online of a reproduction relay for the 86 that is sold on ebay.
This latest one is pulled from an AW11 relay I dredged up from a box in my basement. Its 100% the same circuit but with the retractor relay integrated into it so you dont need 2 relays when you use the AW11 one.

If you look at the schematic for the AE86 you'll notice that there are 2 things that can activate the headlight relay:
-The headlight switch (set it to main beam)
-The dimmer stalk (flash high beam)

The retractor relay should be connected between the headlight relay and the switches, since the relay is switched from the low side, this
means that the signal is at 12V when off, and grounded when the lights need to be up.
I can also confirm that you cannot get the lights to flip up with just the HOLD signal that should be connected to the light switch.
They go up when the headlight relay is engaged, the only thing the HOLD signal does is keep the lights from flipping back down again.
This means that if you use the Levin switch, you need to turn on the lights using the regular switch, then use an additional switch (to ground) on the HOLD input
to keep them up before turning the headlight switch back off again (for easy bulb changes).

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
