Need some help quantifying the bicycle light market.  Info has been
collected on the bicycle accessory market in its entirety however
specific numbers are needed detailing the bicycle lighting segment. 
Ideally the info will be broken into product segments and include the
number of units sold in 2001/02 and corresponding total $:
-Headlights (Distinguish between lamp types: HID(High Intensity
Discharge)/Halogen/other)
-Taillights
-Lighting accessories (batteries, bulbs, connector cables, etc)
Please include links to sources.

For a product example see the below two manufacture links:

Request for Question Clarification by ragingacademic-ga on 15 Jan 2003 00:07 PST

Thanks for your question.
I've made a start on collecting this information, however, I wanted to
point out that 2002 numbers will not be available for many months.

Would 2001 numbers suffice?

I may be able to find 2000 numbers as well.

thanks,
ragingacademic

ragingacademic,
Thanks for your clarification question.
It would be best to have enough data to show a trend.  Not sure if two
years of data is enough...any thoughts?  With that said 00/01 numbers
would be a good start if more data is available that would be awesome!
