Hi There, The fan you have is a Minka Aire Como. I have found the owner's manual online: ceilingfanshq.com/minka-aire-como-ceiling-fan-manual/Like many of these fans, the glass looks to be held on by twisting it into place. If you twist it using your hands, it should be able to be removed, but be careful. The fan is still manufactured, so if you DO break the glass, it could easily be obtained from Minka Aire. The bulbs look to be 2 75W mini halogen bulbs (the little "tube" shaped ones). Make sure the light kit has been off for awhile before attempting to remove the bulbs, as they get HOT, and WILL burn your fingers if you're not careful (take from my experience!) Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck, and let us know if you need any more assistance! -Vince

If you can't unscrew by hand, you can just use tape on glass and pull by tape to unscrew. Make sure you unscrew in the same direction as ceiling fan on downdraft AKA counterclockwise.

We have multiple sources for that! You can check multiple sources which help you out the way. I will share you my view of utilizing it.
On the off chance that the fan has a LED light, you presumably need to supplant the light except if the producer offers substitution bulbs.
On the off chance that the fan has a controller and the bulb is dull, press the catch for the light yet continue squeezing it. The controller button is additionally a dimmer. It will dull down and afterward light up. The bulb is likely fine and dandy.
In the event that the bulb is completely out, you need to sort out some way to get the glass off. It is regularly a 'push and turn'. You push on the glass and turn it. Be cautious. Now and then in the event that you push excessively hard, it won't fall off.
Now and again the glass will simply fly off or it is held by cuts or by screws along the edge of the glass.
When you get the glass off, unscrew the bulb and put another one in. Try not to place an all the more remarkable bulb in. You will simply overheat the wiring in the fan and obliterate the fan. I have likewise observed makers who get the fan and the light endorsed independently. They had the light evaluated for a 150 watt halogen bulb. Tragically the warmth was at last going to crush the engine in the fan. It ought to have been appraised for 100 watts.
There is no set method to change the bulb.
Hope you find an solution for your query!

As mentioned, the bulb in this particular fan is a mini halogen bulb that should unscrew and screw in like a regular light bulb. You want to wait until the light has been off for awhile to remove it, or else it will burn your fingers unscrewing it (you'd use the styrofoam the light bulbs are usually packaged with to unscrew it, and screw the new bulb in). LED's are occasionally available as direct replacements to these types of halogen bulbs, but they're hard to find at Home Depot and Lowe's (my local store only had the same halogen bulbs that I was replacing in my fan). 75w-100w is the usual wattage for mini halogen bulbs like these fans use.
