I guess my next question would be; Does a HID kit have to be for a particular car, or can you just buy a universal kit and use it?

There is no such thing as a universal kit. All cars require specific types of bulbs or headlamps. They are standardized so there are only maybe 15 different bulbs and headlamps. Your FC uses the old large rectangular headlamp. In the US the D.O.T. only allowed the use of sealed beam assemblies back then, where the bulb and housing are sealed together. In europe and other places I'm sure, they could use an H4 headlight which consists of a separate bulb and housing.
You need to buy two things:

An H4 HID kit - misterjung.com has the dual beam H4

H4 headlight housings - look through magazines or search the net they are not hard to find. The better brands are Hella or Cibie
