That is a clean cup holder. I do not want to highjack the thread but back in the JK the rubber liner was removable this one does not appear to be or I just do not know how to do it ?
The rubber itself is not technically removable, the entire trim piece has to be replaced if you want new rubber. You can pull at the rubber and you’ll see little tabs in various spots where the rubber attaches to the trim piece. You can cut those with a razor then remove the rubber piece if you really wanted it out to clean it.

None... but it pays well.
Did you also find the one in the foot well ?
I thought the foot well light was for finding dropped condoms... can't think of anything else it is for, unless you like looking at your $$$$ Air Jordan's while driving.

The cup holder has a light? I need to go outside and check this out.
Yep. Even my Sport has them. There's just enough illumination at night to make them visible, which is fine by me. Such a feature is arguably unneeded. More to the point, I hate light pollution in the interior when I'd driving at night, and the cup holder lighting, at least in my vehicle, isn't adjustable.

Mine is missing the cover too. Does anyone have the P/N to order a replacement?

I’ve had my JLU for almost 2 years and just noticed the cup holder lighting earlier this morning on my way the gym. 🙃

My 21 had that feature as well. It was controlled by the dash dimmer. Do you have your brightness turned up? Now I have to go play with the new one to see if that is the same... I honestly hadn't noticed because I have a cup expander that blocks mine. Hmmmm

Isn't there a dimmer/switch wheel on the dash next to the interior light dimmer/switch wheel?

In '23 (or maybe '22) they got rid of the dual dimmer wheels and went to a single wheel that controls all the interior lighting in unison. The gauges, info cluster, uConnect screen, dash buttons, footwell and cupholder lighting is all tied together now.

Yes, up through Model Year 2022 IIRC. I've one in my '21, but it's non-functional so far as I can tell (and I just re-checked a few nights ago.) Possibly it's functioning is linked to the vehicle's trim level.

It's for ambiance. The lighted foot wells increases your odds of scoring by 7.3%.

Ambience? It must be a generational thing. If the car don't do it by the time they get in, no amount of ambience will help.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got delivery of my 23 and notice the cup holder was light up.
Lot of luxury for a wrangler, certainly adding to the price.
Back in 2018 I went from a base TJ Auto/air only to a JL sport, Auto/air, tint only and I have them! Along with cruise, sound bar, crank windows, like the lap of luxury compared to the 97 TJ.

Well if she's not into ambiance, your only remaining hope is to lean over and whisper in her ear
