Nissan NISMO Type 1 vs Type 2 LED Grille Badge
The Nissan NISMO Type 1 and Type 2 badges use a similar horizontal wordmark and share the same listed dimensions, but their catalog visuals and lighting selectors are not identical. Type 1 shows a red “O” in its standard catalog image; Type 2 shows the full wordmark in white and offers selectable fixed colors. Compare the product gallery and options instead of assuming the version names mean the same lighting behavior.
Same listed size, different option structure
Both NISMO Type 1 and NISMO Type 2 list 190 × 38 × 52 mm, measured as width × height × overall depth including mounting hardware. Both pages describe an acrylic body, IP67 and mounting with two screws, a backing plate and fixing nuts. The product dimensions are the same on these two pages; that does not prove they suit a particular grille.
| Catalog version | Artwork shown | Lighting selector |
|---|---|---|
| NISMO Type 1 | White NISMO lettering with a red O in the standard catalog image | STANDARD or FLOW |
| NISMO Type 2 | White NISMO lettering in the catalog image | White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Ice Blue, Purple or FLOW |
On the Type 1 page, the description says STANDARD preserves the fixed lighting of the design. The Type 2 page lists seven fixed-color selections. Both pages offer FLOW, with phone control through the LED Hue app over Bluetooth. Read the selector and gallery together: the displayed photo is one presentation, while available choices are defined by the exact product listing.
Do not choose by the NISMO name alone
The wordmark identifies the artwork, not a confirmed vehicle application. The product pages ask buyers to check the dimensions and access behind the grille before installation. Compare the 190 mm width and 38 mm height with one open, continuous mounting area. Then check the overall 52 mm depth for clearance behind the grille and room for hardware and wiring.
Also check for sensors, shutters, openings and other components at the proposed mounting point. If the surface is curved or the back is difficult to inspect, ask a qualified installer to assess it before drilling. An image of a badge next to a Nissan or NISMO name is not fitment documentation.
Choose the version by its visible result
- Decide whether you want the Type 1 red-O fixed design or Type 2’s all-white catalog treatment.
- Open the corresponding product page and confirm its current selector choices.
- Compare the same listed face size with your intended grille position.
- Review depth, fastening access and wiring clearance separately.
- Contact the store if the selected image and option label do not make the intended lighting clear.
