Chrome bezel around dash screen

[justincsfl]

Anyone know the part number or replacement part for the plastic chrome bezel around the dash screen? It seems the clips behind mine are broken and the plastic bezel can be pulled out quite easily. Photo for reference.

Similar area question, I need to get to the indicator clicker to try and muffle it, it’s irritatingly loud, any idea how can I do that. Thank you

AI says hallucinated this:

To change the indicator (turn signal) sound volume in a Ford F-150 Lightning,
access the infotainment system and navigate to Settings > Sound > Notifications (or Audio), where you can select between high, medium, or low for the vehicle prompt volume.

On my truck, the "Sound" buttoon is greyed out so I can't change anything.

In a post on another network, this was the fix for an ICE F-150 - duct tape on the transducer (speaker) - the Lightning may be a bit different:

I'm sure I'm not alone in being annoyed by how ridiculously loud the directional sound has gotten in the recent years. '21 - '22 is proving to best the rest with blinker volume. I've searched for other ways to program it out via FORScan, but cannot seem to find an answer. So, for those like me who dare to dive in and tear apart their nice new trucks in the name of some peace and quiet at the intersections, here you go.

First, you'll want to YouTube some videos on how to remove the dash trim to get to the instrument cluster, if you're not comfortable just diving in. I have to admit, of all the interiors I've ripped apart, this isn't too bad and it actually goes back together like it never happened.

Once you get the trim off around the instrument cluster, you'll remove the 4 screws that hold the instrument cluster in, and unplug the cluster and remove it. There are 2 connections. (FYI, this will reset any personal settings you have so you'll need to reset them.)

The target of our anger is a speaker on the back side of the cluster. Remove the 12 philips head screws that hold the back panel on the cluster, then use a small flat screwdriver to release each of the plastic catches that snap the cover in place. Once you've gained access to the speaker, remove the felt covering and shove something soft between the grill and speaker itself. this will greatly reduce its ability to produce noise. Then I put a piece of duct tape over the speaker. Once the rear cover is replaced, I put another piece of duct tape over the speaker vents again. Put it all back together and enjoy the quiet.

None of this is permanent and can be reversed if you ever decide to send the truck to a new owner and want to let them enjoy the same agony we've all been forced to put up with.
I've included some pictures and videos that hopefully portray the before and after well enough. Its definitely barely audible. Certainly won't hear it driving now.
I hope this is helpful to others.

Not sure if this will work, for an older truck, but:
