No.
All new cars/SUVs are required by law to have three brake lights. Which includes the "high brake light." This law is for NEW vehicles manufactured after a certain date ( I assume somewhere in the late 1980s). As long as one of the "high brake lights" work, either the spoiler or oem middle light, then you are complying with the law.
