Custom raised & old-school style too! LED tail lamp from the Showa era that fades away softly like a light bulb

The Probox has a strong image of a commercial vehicle, but with the right customization, it can also transform into a fun weekend vehicle. With Valenti's "Jewel LED Tail Lamp Retro," you get a soft light that fades just like a bulb, giving the rear view a nostalgic atmosphere.

From a working vehicle to a playful companion

The Toyota "Probox," a synonym for commercial vehicles, has supported Japan's roads for many years. Recently, there has been an increase in people customizing it, using its simple boxy body as a canvas for lift-ups and classic styles. It's now more common to see a stylishly finished Probox in campground parking lots.

The Probox is a car that you want to gradually enhance while keeping its original vibe, rather than decorating it flamboyantly. For that reason, if you're going to make modifications, you want to choose those that highlight the quality of the materials. That's why I became interested in the aftermarket parts brand "Valenti" and its "Jewel LED Tail Lamp Retro."

Despite being LED, it turns off with a soft glow like an incandescent bulb

The main feature is its fade-out light function. When the brake lights, turn signals, or reverse lights turn on, they shine sharply like typical LEDs, and when they turn off, they do so gracefully, leaving a lingering afterglow like old light bulbs.

While the brightness of LEDs is vivid, it can sometimes appear somewhat inorganic. In that respect, the softness of this fading light provides a warmth reminiscent of classic tail lamps. Another notable advantage is that the slightly longer illumination time makes it easier for following vehicles to see.

Compatible with 128 LEDs & rear fog lights.

Although it looks retro, the inside is firmly modern. It uses high-brightness LEDs for position, brake, turn signals, reverse, and rear fog, equipped with a total of 128 LEDs on both sides. Furthermore, it's delightful that it supports the genuine rear fog that comes with the manufacturer’s cold climate package. If you have a vehicle with a rear fog light, you can replace it while maintaining the original functionality.

Just by changing the rear view, the usual Probox transforms.

The charm of the Probox lies in its simple utility as a working vehicle. That’s why, instead of making everything flashy, adding a playful touch to the tail light is just right. During the day, the color inner lens gives it a classic look. Then at night, when you release the brake, it turns off softly like a light bulb, leaving a lingering effect. Whether you’re loading camping gear for a family trip on the weekend or heading to work on a weekday morning, it’s the same vehicle. If that's the case, you'll want to add a personal touch to the rear view that you see every day.
