Additional Notes

The Ducati Hypermotard uses the DE3423 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years, spanning 2008-2017.
The DE3423 is classified as a festoon bulb, meaning it is a cylindrical lamp that makes electrical contact through metal caps at both ends rather than through a base socket.
The DE3423 operates at 12 volts, which is consistent with standard 12V motorcycle electrical systems.
The bulb has a 41mm length, which is a critical fitment factor, as festoon bulbs are sized primarily by their length between end caps.
The DE3423 designation follows ANSI standards applicable to the United States and Canada, indicating the bulb conforms to a defined set of performance and dimensional criteria within those markets.
Because the DE3423 is an ANSI-standardized festoon type, any replacement bulb intended for the Ducati Hypermotard license plate position must match both the 41mm length and the end-cap contact configuration to seat correctly in the housing.
