That doesn't matter if you aren't a dealer selling the car for the first time. FMVSS 111 requires an exterior driver's side mirror, but most state regulations do not, and plenty of people here (myself included) do without the mirror perfectly legally. Similarly, the headlights have to be certified to FMVSS 108 standards "before the first purchase of the vehicle in good faith for purposes other than resale;" what you do with the car after you've bought it is governed by the state regulations where the vehicle is registered.
