Would you return something because the power indicator LED is too bright? (lemmy.world)

I got a HDD dock from startech.com. It works great and does everything I need. The problem is it has the brightest goddamn blue LED I have ever seen. It is so unnecessarily bright. My eyes hurt looking in the same direction as it. What the fuck should I do? Return it? De solder the stupid ass LED? It works great aside from this one issue.

Edit: I opened the thing and drew with sharpie on the LED. It's bearable to look at now.

I either tape the things with Isolation in dark to see nothing or the Painters-Tape which is yellow and partly lets light through.

But colored isolation band lets the light through a bit too.
