Additional Notes

The DE3423 is the license plate bulb used across all production years of the Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG, spanning 2002-2004.
The DE3423 follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to the electrical and physical specifications recognized across the United States and Canada.
The DE3423 is a festoon-type bulb, a cylindrical form factor that seats between two spring-loaded end caps rather than inserting into a socket with a base pin or bayonet fitting.
The bulb measures 41mm in length, which is the critical fitment factor for festoon bulbs, as the housing span must match the bulb length for proper contact and retention.
Electrical operation is rated at 12 volts, consistent with the standard automotive electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles.
The end-cap contact design means the bulb conducts current through metal caps at each end, a configuration that distinguishes it from wedge-base or pin-base festoon variants and affects direct interchangeability with other festoon bulbs of differing contact styles.
