Replacing a light on a Case IH tractor requires more than matching the housing shape. Different tractor series can use different headlights, work lights, upper cab lights, position lights, indicators, connectors, and mounting arrangements.
Start with the tractor model, lamp position, lighting function, and OEM part number. These details provide a much stronger replacement reference than appearance alone.
TUFF PLUS offers a range of LED tractor lights for Case IH for selected Maxxum, Puma, Farmall, Vestrum, Optum, Magnum, Steiger, MX, STX, Quadtrac, CVX, CS Pro, and MXU tractors.

Exact fitment can vary by model year, market, installation position, and tractor configuration. Always compare the original lamp, connector, mounting points, and OEM number before ordering.
Start With the Light Position
A Case IH tractor can use several different lights at the same time. Identifying the lamp position first makes it much easier to narrow down the correct replacement.
Typical positions include:
- Center front lighting
- Hood or grille lighting
- Upper cab lighting
- Rear cab work lights
- Fender or side work lights
- Position and indicator lamps
Two lamps may look similar but perform completely different functions. Therefore, always identify both the physical position and the required lighting function.
Front and Center Tractor Lights
Front-facing tractor lights illuminate the area ahead of the machine. Depending on the application, they may serve as road headlights or work lights for field operation.
For selected Case IH Steiger, MX, and STX tractors, the 108W LED Center Headlight Replacement F0316 fits the center front lighting position.
F0316 produces a wide flood beam for close- and medium-range working visibility. Compatible applications include selected:
- Steiger 280, 285, 330, 335, 380, 385, 430, 435, 480, 485, 530, and 535
- MX180, MX200, MX210, MX220, MX230, MX240, MX255, MX270, and MX285
- STX275, STX280, STX325, STX330, STX375, STX380, STX425, STX430, STX440, STX450, STX480, STX485, STX500, and STX530
Relevant Case IH OEM replacement references include 232454A2 and 232455A2.
Matching the OEM number is particularly useful when several lamps on the same tractor have similar housings.
Position and Indicator Lights for Maxxum, Puma and Other Series
Some Case IH tractors use combination lamps for signalling rather than primary work lighting.
The H0109 Tractor Combination Light combines a white position light with an amber indicator in one housing.
Case IH applications include selected:
- Maxxum: 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150
- Farmall U Pro: 95U PRO, 105U PRO, 115U PRO
- Puma: selected models from 115 through 240
- Optum: 250 CVX, 270 CVX, 300 CVX
- Vestrum: 100, 110, 120, 130
OEM references include:
87304549, 87304547, 87313269
Therefore, when replacing this type of Case IH lamp, the lighting function is just as important as the housing shape. A work light cannot replace a position or indicator lamp simply because the dimensions are similar.
Upper Cab Lights for Case IH Tractors
Upper cab lights illuminate the ground and working area around the tractor. They normally use a wide beam rather than a concentrated road-driving pattern.
The F0257 18W LED Upper Cab Light is designed for selected Case IH and New Holland tractor applications.
Compatible Case IH families include:
- CS80 Pro–CS105 Pro
- CVX140–CVX195
- Maxxum 110–140
- MXU 100–135
- Multiple Puma models from 125 through 230
This mounting position works well for planting, loading, harvesting, field maintenance, and other tasks where operators need wider visibility around the machine.
For more information about this lamp position and installation type, see the Case IH & New Holland Upper Cab Light Replacement Guide.
Work Lights for Magnum, Puma and Quadtrac Tractors
Agricultural work lights spread illumination across the working area around the tractor rather than concentrating the beam far ahead.
The F0233 3.5 Inch LED Agriculture Light produces 3000 lumens with a wide flood beam.
Case IH applications include selected:
- Magnum: 180–380
- MX Series: MX215, MX245, MX275, MX305
- Puma: 165–240
- Quadtrac: 370–620
This type of lamp is better suited to field visibility than a concentrated road-driving beam. As a result, the wider pattern helps illuminate implements, ground conditions, and nearby obstacles during low-light operation.
For additional universal and equipment lighting options, browse the LED Work Light range.
Case IH Headlights vs Work Lights
People sometimes use the terms Case IH headlights and Case IH work lights interchangeably when searching for replacements. However, they do not always refer to the same type of lamp.
A headlight usually illuminates the direction of travel and may require a controlled high- or low-beam pattern. By contrast, a work light mainly supports off-road operation and field visibility.
Wide-flood work lights illuminate areas such as:
- Fields
- Implements
- Loading areas
- Ground beside the tractor
- Machinery surroundings
Position and indicator lamps perform another function. They communicate the tractor’s position or intended direction rather than providing primary working illumination.
Before choosing a replacement, determine whether the original lamp provides:
- High beam
- Low beam
- Position or parking light
- Turn indicator
- Front work lighting
- Rear work lighting
- Upper cab lighting
- Side or implement lighting
This prevents a physically similar lamp from replacing a light with a different optical or signalling function.
How to Find the Correct Case IH Replacement Light
1. Identify the Tractor Model
Start with the complete tractor model rather than only the series name.
For example, “Puma” alone is not enough. A Puma 150, Puma 185, and Puma 230 can use different lighting configurations depending on the year and lamp position.
2. Check the Installation Position
Determine exactly where the original lamp sits on the tractor.
Common locations include the front grille, hood, center front position, upper cab, rear cab, fender, and side position.
3. Find the OEM Part Number
Check the original lamp housing, label, tractor parts catalogue, or service documentation for an OEM reference.
Current examples in the TUFF PLUS Case IH replacement range include:
| OEM Part Number | Light Type | Replacement |
| 232454A2 | Center front wide-flood light | F0316 |
| 232455A2 | Center front wide-flood light | F0316 |
| 87304549 | Position / indicator combination light | H0109 |
| 87304547 | Position / indicator combination light | H0109 |
| 87313269 | Position / indicator combination light | H0109 |
The OEM number provides a strong replacement reference, but it should not be the only check. Compare it together with the tractor model, lamp position, connector, mounting arrangement, and lighting function.
For OEM lighting development or customized agricultural lighting projects, see our OEM lighting solutions.
4. Compare the Connector and Mounting Points
Check the physical installation before ordering.
Important details include:
- Connector shape
- Number of pins
- Mounting hole positions
- Bracket direction
- Lamp orientation
- Installation depth
- Cable length
A lamp can have the correct dimensions but still use a different connector or mounting arrangement.
5. Confirm Voltage and Lighting Function
Confirm the tractor’s electrical system and the supported voltage range of the replacement light.
Then check that the replacement provides the same function as the original lamp. Do not replace a work light with a signalling lamp, or a position light with a general flood light.
OEM Replacement Information for Case IH Tractor Lights
An OEM replacement light does not simply mean a lamp with similar dimensions.
A suitable replacement should match the important characteristics of the original installation, including:
Tractor model + OEM reference + lamp position + connector + mounting points + electrical system + lighting function
For example, Case IH OEM references 232454A2 and 232455A2 correspond with the F0316 center front replacement application, while 87304549, 87304547, and 87313269 correspond with the H0109 position and indicator lamp.
If the OEM number is missing, send clear photos of:
- Front of the original lamp
- Rear housing
- Connector
- Mounting points
- Lamp label
- Installation position on the tractor
These details can help identify the correct replacement more accurately.
Why Upgrade Case IH Tractor Lights to LED?
Older agricultural machines may still use halogen lighting, while many newer systems use LED technology.
A properly selected LED replacement can provide useful illumination with lower electrical demand and longer service life. LED housings can also support better resistance to vibration and demanding agricultural environments.
For agricultural applications, durable housings and strong waterproof protection are especially important. Tractor lights regularly face dust, mud, rain, vibration, and pressure washing during daily operation.
However, higher wattage or lumen output alone does not make one lamp a better replacement. Beam pattern, lamp position, and optical distribution determine where the light actually reaches.
