There are no 12 volt H light bulbs as all H's were 6 Volt from the factory. If you still have a 6 volt bulb or a burnt out 12V bulb take it to a real auto parts and they can match it. If you don't want to do that you'll need to figure it out. Is this an original HI/LOW light? If so you'll need a twin element bulb. 2 element bulb-now look at the pins on the side of the bulb that hold it in, are they straight across from each other or staggered (two element bulb is probably staggered so you can't put it in wrong). If it's got sealed beams take one down to your auto parts and let them look it over.

By the way the standard twin filament light bulb is an 1157, that's what is used in tail lights and turn signals, that's the old style bulb with the metal base, newer cars use a plastic bayonet style, IIRC old tractor lights used them too, at least out JD A did, all of our Farmalls ran sealed beams, but they weren't OEM we retro fitted them on to the tractors, that was 30 years ago. The single filament bulb is an 1156.

Various manufacturers have on line catalogs that will let you figure it out Sylvania is one of them. That will also give you information about variations and LED retrofits if you're thinking about going that way. The newest H is now over 60 years old, don't be surprised to find out you don't have factory lights anymore, we know you don't have the factory generator or voltage regulator anymore.
