Ford F-150 Type 1 or Type 2 LED Grille Badge?
The Ford F-150 Type 1 and Type 2 grille-badge listings are a close comparison: both are 190 mm wide and both list 52 mm overall depth. The visible catalog difference is only 2 mm of face height—50 mm versus 52 mm—so a buyer should not use the dimensions alone to guess the artwork or vehicle fit. Open the exact record, compare the image, and then measure the intended grille area.
The images are product-artwork references rather than installation evidence. “F-150” in the title does not confirm a year, trim, grille opening or model-specific mounting solution.
What the 2 mm difference can and cannot do
| Exact product | Listed dimensions | Source-confirmed construction |
|---|---|---|
| F-150 Type 1 | 190 × 50 × 52 mm | Plastic body; steel mounting hardware |
| F-150 Type 2 | 190 × 52 × 52 mm | Plastic body; steel mounting hardware |
The height difference may matter if your usable opening is bounded tightly by a grille bar or trim edge. It does not identify the artwork, prove a model-year fit, or make one record a substitute for the other. Keep the proportions from the exact product page instead of scaling a thumbnail to the vehicle.
The source artwork is also visibly different. Type 1 uses an angular, segmented F-150 mark with inset linework and a stepped lower-left F. Type 2 presents a cleaner block F-150 wordmark with broader light letter faces and a simpler inner treatment. If the graphic matters more than the 2 mm measurement, choose from those exact images first.
Measure the mounting area separately
Measure the clear face area at the proposed location, then check access behind it for the backing plate and fixing nuts. Both listings describe two screws, a backing plate and fixing nuts, and both state IP67 for the badge while requiring the wiring connections to be protected during installation. Inspect nearby sensors, shutters, supports and cooling paths. If a tight 2 mm decision is also a difficult rear-access decision, ask a qualified installer to review the location before drilling.
Choose the selector only after the exact record
Both F-150 records list White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Ice Blue, Purple and FLOW options, with 12- and 24-month warranty variants. The descriptions state that FLOW RGB is controlled through the LED Hue app over Bluetooth, while a fixed-color variant uses the selected color. Read the current Type 1 or Type 2 selector directly; do not infer it from the other page.
Because the two faces are close in size, save the exact product title and image with your measurement notes. That simple record prevents a 190 mm-wide Type 1 request from being interpreted as Type 2 later. The selector and warranty choices are purchase details; they do not change the need to verify the F-150 grille opening, rear hardware access and protected wire route.
- Compare the exact Type artwork and listing title.
- Use 190 × 50 or 190 × 52 mm to plan the opening check.
- Allow for 52 mm depth, the fixing hardware and wiring route.
- Confirm color, FLOW and warranty from the chosen page.
- Treat all F-150 language as catalog context, not fitment confirmation.
