A decorative component, such as an interior or exterior automotive trim component having an exterior finish layer, includes an activatable illuminated display for providing status information related to the vehicle. The display may be in the form of a plurality of light areas arranged in a series of shapes or arranged to form or display text in accordance with the status being displayed. The light areas may be in the form of lenses that illuminate when activated, or they may be in the form of areas of light transmissive material exposed through the finish layer. The display may include multiple colors. The display may indicate a battery or fuel level, tire pressure, temperature, or the like. As the status of the vehicle changes, the lighted display changes thereby displaying the corresponding status of the vehicle.
