A molded component assembly (10) includes a printed circuit board (12) with a first face (14) and a second face (15), and multiple through apertures (24, 24',24", 24"', 24"", 26). Multiple light emitting diodes ( 20, 20', 20", 20"', 20"", 22) are mounted on a first portion (21) of the first face (14). A light guide (34) of a light translucent polymeric material is positioned proximate to the light emitting diodes ( 20, 20', 20", 20"', 20"", 22). The light guide includes: a contact surface (38) directly contacting the first portion (21) of the first face (14); multiple light outlets (42, 42', 42", 42"', 42"), each aligned to receive visible light emitted from one of the light emitting diodes ( 20, 20', 20", 20"', 20"", 22); and multiple integrally formed light reflectors (44, 44', 44", 44"', 44"', 46). Each light reflector (44, 44', 44", 44"', 44"', 46) extends into one of the light outlets (42, 42', 42", 42"', 42") and over one of the through apertures (24, 24',24", 24"', 24"", 26), and each includes a first reflector surface (82), a second reflector surface (84) and a third reflector surface (86) each oriented non-orthogonal to the contact surface (38) to reflect light from one of the light emitting diodes ( 20, 20', 20", 20"', 20"", 22) into one of the light outlets (42, 42', 42", 42"', 42").
