It's the taller arm rest for the center illumination kit. Both are sold separately. Though I would love to install it.
It's a standard armrest part (meaning not only from College Hills). You need to install it if you get the OEM armrest LED. If you install it without the LED, there will be a gap where the LED strip is supposed to fit.

The height is PERFECT to rest the arm while holding the shifter though. They should have made it the stock height!

Any pics of it without the led strip?

Not from me. I got the led installed with it. The led strip is encased in a 1" plastic bezel though. You can estimate the size and shape of what would be empty space from the attached pic though. There would be black plastic behind it, and I'm not sure how clean the leather tuck is going into the cavity.

Don't give me bad financial advice and make me buy that. That armrest is sorely tempting. Though installing it will be a pain.

Today I added led lights for the door pockets.
(I can turn all these lights off if I get tired or whatever)

You just need to make a hole and pass the cables. Use tape to stick the led onto the door. Run the cables to the fuse box under the wheel.

I have nothing bad to say about this one! It was worth every penny and I was totally unaware I would need it when I wanted the armrealst LED installed.

If you want just 1 negative, I'll tell you that it isn't the dark black of the rest of the interior leather. It's charcoal but it blends fine.

I did the same thing but used 3mm LEDs. I got the idea from my wife’s Grand Cherokee.

I think I saw your post here the other day and decided to do it 😅
Very easy mod 👌

PD: When I ran out of battery, I'll give you a call 😬
