Handbrake switch/light

[missfixit70]

While I was waiting for my pela to pump out my engine oil I got bored so I unscrewed my handbrake switch & rivetted it permanently to earth, in the time I've had the bongo, twice the switch has played up & stopped the roof working, so I figured this way there's no iffy contacts to get oxidised. This works fine, but means that the handbrake warning light is now permanently on, is it an mot requirement for this to be working or can I just remove the bulb?
