Additional Notes

The Maybach 57 uses the DE3423 bulb for its license plate lighting across all listed model years, spanning 2003-2012.
The DE3423 is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape and makes electrical contact through metal caps at each end rather than through a base socket or pins.
The DE3423 operates at 12 volts, which is standard for automotive electrical systems in passenger vehicles.
The bulb has a 41mm length, which is a critical fitment factor, as festoon bulbs must match the housing length precisely to seat correctly between the end contacts.
The DE3423 designation follows ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating the bulb conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications within those markets.
Because the DE3423 specification remained unchanged across the entire 2003-2012 production run of the Maybach 57, bulbs sourced for any year within that range are interchangeable with one another for this application.
