1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first light bar comprising a first light guide configured to reflect a first light in a first direction from a first source, the first source coupled with a first printed circuit board; and
a second light bar comprising:
a divider configured to define a plurality of segments of the second light bar; and
a second light guide configured to reflect a second light in a second direction from at least one second source to the plurality of segments, the at least one second source coupled with a second printed circuit board;
a cover at least partially surrounding the divider and the second light guide, the cover having a first transparent portion, a second transparent portion, and an opaque portion coupled with and disposed between the first transparent portion and the second transparent portion to provide a patterned display of the second light;
the divider extends along the second light guide outward beyond an end surface of the second light guide in the second direction towards the cover;
the second printed circuit board disposed between the first light guide and the second light guide; and
the second printed circuit board configured to:
control the at least one second source to emit the second light via the plurality of segments to produce a linear display to indicate a status of one or more batteries of a vehicle.
