Can't find replacement bulb for my ceiling fan

I bought a Harbor Breeze Helix II celing fan, all four bulbs have blown. I went back to Lowes, where I purchased it and they don't sell replacement bulbs. Where can I get replacement bulbs?:

Please desribe your bulbs and any numbers you see near the base. All 4 blown at once, I'd check the power to the outlets with a tester to be sure a wire hasn't come loose.

What type of bulbs does it use? If you cant find them at a home center you can try a lighting store or electrical supply.

thank you for your quick response. I finally called Lowe's back and they found the bulbs for me. Then once I got home I realized my daughter had not tried the pull string on the ceiling fan. She had only relied on the wall switch. All four bulbs were not blown after all. Thanks again for your help

Loss of power, in this case the string, makes more sense than 4 bulbs blowing at once. I was thinking maybe a wire came loose. Good job Faithful!
