Additional Notes

The Maybach 62 uses the DE3423 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years, spanning 2003-2012.
The DE3423 is a festoon-type bulb, meaning it is cylindrical in shape with metal end-cap contacts at both ends rather than a base socket.
Festoon bulbs are held in place by spring-loaded clips within the housing, which grip the end caps to maintain both physical retention and electrical contact.
The DE3423 has a specified length of 41mm, a figure that determines physical fit within the festoon housing and is not interchangeable with festoon bulbs of differing lengths such as 36mm or 44mm variants.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The DE3423 designation follows ANSI standardization, meaning it is recognized and available across the United States and Canada under that uniform designation.
Because festoon bulbs are sized by length, substituting a bulb with a different length risks poor contact with the spring clips, which can result in intermittent illumination or complete failure to light.
