Ford ST Type 1 or Type 2 LED Grille Badge?
The Ford ST Type 1 and Type 2 grille-badge listings are almost identical on paper: both are 125 mm wide and both list 52 mm overall depth. Type 1 is 60 mm high; Type 2 is 61 mm high. A one-millimeter difference cannot identify the artwork or prove fitment, so this is an exact-product selection question rather than a promise that one type is correct for every ST grille.
The images are catalog artwork references on neutral backgrounds. They are not customer installation photos and do not document a specific Ford ST model, year or grille.
What the near-match dimensions tell you
| Exact listing | Listed dimensions | Source-confirmed construction |
|---|---|---|
| Ford ST Type 1 | 125 × 60 × 52 mm | Plastic body; steel mounting hardware |
| Ford ST Type 2 | 125 × 61 × 52 mm | Plastic body; steel mounting hardware |
The one-millimeter height difference may matter only when a measured opening is exceptionally tight. It is not a useful shortcut for deciding which graphic you want. Compare the exact product image and title at full size, and keep the selected link in your order notes.
The artwork images make the choice concrete. Type 1 is a simpler ST monogram with broad light interiors and a heavy dark outline. Type 2 uses a more layered, striped ST treatment with an inner light keyline and extra horizontal bars. Choose the mark you want from the exact image before treating the 125 × 60 or 125 × 61 mm measurement as a mounting check.
Check the assembly, not just the face
Both source records describe two screws, a backing plate and fixing nuts. Their descriptions state IP67 for the badge but separately require the wiring connections to be protected. Measure the usable opening at the proposed location, check curvature and nearby equipment, and allow for the 52 mm overall depth including mounting hardware. Ask a qualified installer to review the area if the backing plate or cable route cannot be reached safely.
Lighting is selected from the exact listing
Both records list White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Ice Blue, Purple and FLOW choices, with 12- and 24-month warranty variants. The descriptions explain fixed-color illumination and FLOW RGB phone control through the LED Hue app over Bluetooth. Choose the artwork first; then read the live selector on that Type page. Do not assume that a color or price shown in the Type 1 gallery also describes Type 2.
Keep the exact Type name with your order or installer notes because the 1 mm difference is too small to act as a reliable visual identifier. The image, title, handle and selector together identify the product; the opening measurement and rear-clearance check answer a different question. If those records conflict, pause and ask the store before ordering rather than choosing from a guessed screenshot.
- Identify the exact ST artwork from the product image and title.
- Use 125 × 60 or 125 × 61 mm for the opening comparison.
- Allow for 52 mm depth, the backing plate and fixing nuts.
- Protect wiring and check sensors, shutters and supports separately.
- Select color, FLOW and warranty only from the chosen product page.
