Additional Notes

The DE3423 is the license plate bulb size for the Mercedes-Benz ML430 across the 1999-2001 model years.
The DE3423 follows the ANSI standard, meaning it meets the electrical and physical requirements recognized across the United States and Canada.
As a festoon-type bulb, the DE3423 is cylindrical in form and makes contact at both ends through end-cap terminals rather than through a base socket.
The DE3423 has a length of 41mm, which is a defining fitment factor for festoon bulbs, as substituting a different length can result in poor contact or physical incompatibility with the housing.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in passenger vehicles of this type.
