Mustang Dark Horse Type 1 or Type 2 LED Grille Badge?
“Dark Horse” does not identify one universal grille-badge footprint in the catalog. The exact Type 1 and Type 2 products have very different proportions: Type 1 is a 104 × 120 mm tall emblem, while Type 2 is a 190 × 58 mm horizontal face. Compare those two product records when you are deciding between a compact emblem and a long band, then assess the real vehicle location separately.
These are product images on a neutral background. Neither image documents a customer installation or proves compatibility with a Mustang generation, trim or grille.
Two Dark Horse proportions, one separate fitment question
| Product | Listed dimensions | Front-face comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Horse Type 1 | 104 × 120 × 52 mm | Taller than wide; compact emblem footprint |
| Dark Horse Type 2 | 190 × 58 × 52 mm | Wide, low horizontal footprint |
Both records list a plastic body, steel mounting hardware, two screws, a backing plate and fixing nuts. The 52 mm overall depth includes that hardware. The difference between a tall face and a long face can change which open grille area is worth measuring, but it cannot answer whether either location is safe or compatible.
Compare a tall emblem with a horizontal face
A Mustang buyer may see Dark Horse, 5.0, Roush or Shelby names in a general accessory search. Those names identify different artwork families. This pair needs a narrower check because Type 1 and Type 2 are not interchangeable shapes. If your available area is tall and compact, compare Type 1. If it is a long horizontal band, compare Type 2. These are visual planning cues only, not fitment guarantees.
Confirm lighting from the selected Type page
Both current listings provide White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Ice Blue, Purple and FLOW choices, with 12- and 24-month warranty variants. Their descriptions distinguish fixed-color illumination from FLOW RGB phone control through the LED Hue app over Bluetooth. Use the selector on the exact product. Do not assume that a lighting state shown in a Type 1 image or a general Mustang article applies to Type 2.
- Select the exact artwork and Type record.
- Compare its face dimensions with a measured clear area.
- Allow for 52 mm depth and the rear mounting hardware.
- Plan protected wiring and inspect nearby vehicle equipment.
- Ask for a vehicle-specific review when the mounting position is unclear.
