It's a Diode, but with the z-shaped arrow going out of the circle, they become LED's.

Backstory. A friend of mine has a motorcycle and he likes to run with the highbeam light on , but he doesn't like to see the blue light on the dash during the day. ( he does not want to use tape on the outside like a hillbilly… LOL ) He is well aware of that it would not show at night. What's the easiest way to kill it but if he sells the bike he could reverse it? Maybe tape on the inside? (Subtle hillbilly move) |

"Photodiode Light Emitting Diode" is a bit redundant. It's most commonly referred to as just an LED. LED's are discrete components in terms of PCB population, like a resistor or capacitor. They can of course be in a variety of package shapes that are selected based on application.
If your friend wants to open up his cluster, he can de-populate the offending LED, however without seeing the balance of the schematic, it may be in series with the actual lighting circuit versus in parallel. The most practical layman solution would be a few coats of permanent Sharpie or black paint pen on top of the LED.

Black paint, nail polish, gasket maker... not sure which will last the longest without chipping off.
