No wattage limit in US...

the limit is generally candela or candlepower or whatever the inspection station machine uses.
I had such an issue in Virginia few years ago...the guy said the limit was around 50K candlepower and my car had 90/100W H4 bulbs in Euro inserts (84 saab, US lights retrofitted with Hella 200mm inserts vice sealed beam) that did not exceed 50K.
So wattage is irrelevant here. Not legal for use in Europe could be a variety of reasons but I've never heard of a 65 watt limit. I think a watt limit is foolish...35 watt HID is more than a 100w halogen can kick out anyway....so much for bureaucratic watt limit if it exists.
