Default Third Brake Light Problem

I just removed my factory spoiler because I liked the way it looked wingless the bad thing is that i noticed I didn't have an interior third brake light I found it weird that it didn't come with one, so I removed the brake light on the spoiler and wondered if it was the same one that went inside? Here's a pic... do you guys think this one functions as the interior brake light as well?

if your car came with a factory-installed spoiler (not the same as oem dealer installed), the third brake light is blocked off by a blacked out section of the rear window. replacing the rear window is probably the only way to get the third brake light working.

On my car that came with a spoiler, and my other friend's em2s that came with spoilers it looks like this

You can just order the socket from hondaautomotiveparts.com and get a bulb, and the plug that plugs into the spoiler harness plugs into the socket for the window brake light.
Where you unplugged those 2 wires, if you keep following them you will get to the plug.
