An exemplary vehicle lighting system includes a braking indicator having a lens with a first region colored differently than a second region, and a control system configured to control a first light source to emit light through the first region to indicate a first operating behavior of a vehicle, and a second light source to emit light through the second region to indicate a second operating behavior of the vehicle. An exemplary indicating method for a vehicle includes producing a first lighting effect through a first region of a lens to indicate a first operating behavior of a vehicle. The first operating behavior is a braking of the vehicle. The indicating method further includes producing a second lighting effect through a second region of the lens to indicate a different, second operating behavior of the vehicle. The first region colored differently than the second region.
