Not necessarily, but depending on what's causing it, it could knock your emissions out

Removing the bulb won't cure the emissions problem, which will be tested.

High level isn't an MOT requirement it is? Or has it got to work as it's fitted?

its a grey area,

but the long and short of it is you have to be able prove without dismantling that it is connected which 99.9% of the time you cant do, therefore you cant fail it
