Not at all.  I've been adding them for years, a cheap aftermarket one in
my 5kt, and then coupe.  Then I discovered the joy of parts cars and
used OEM parts and got something a bit nicer looking in there.

Just do a careful, neat job of wiring it in parallel with one of the
regular brake lights, and securing it on the parcel shelf or roof,
reasonably well sealed to the rear window.
