On second thought, since the source is 6.3v, and the drop across the transistor is pretty much nothing, w/o any bulbs, the switched on output should be about 6-7v so by adding a dropping resistor to ground, like 6-7 ohms should get me the 3.1v needed to use the ultra bright white LEDs, like I used in the GE TV.
Will just have to play till I find the right resistor value.

Trying to picture this. Wouldn't a separate series resistor for each LED make more sense?
