It's actually 5v that runs the LEDs.  You could rig up some type of resitor network with large resistors.  That is what I was implying with the reisitors in place of one of the LED leads.  I'm sure exactly what you are saying so here are a couple of drawings, one correct and one incorrect.


Correct

             +---/\/\/----|<|------+
             |                     |
 +5v  -------+---/\/\/----|<|------+-----  GND
             |                     |
             +---/\/\/----|<|------+
             |                     |
             +---/\/\/----|<|------+


Incorrect

             +---/\/\/---+---|<|------+
             |           |            |
 +5v  -------+---/\/\/---+---|<|------+-----  GND
             |           |            |
             +---/\/\/---+---|<|------+
             |           |            |
             +---/\/\/---+---|<|------+


On the empeg one side is replaced with the microcontroller, offhand I'm not sure which one.
