Abstract
A mobile agricultural harvester has a crop header at its forward end including a plurality of crop dividers. The crop dividers each include a forwardly tapering point portion terminating at its forward end with a tip. Either the tip or the point portion or both are constructed of light emitting material, or are provided with windows covered by light emitting material, so as to provide improved illumination of the crop and field in front of the header during a harvesting operation.
