        I don't know what the specs are for the LED's you plan to use, however if
we assume that they need more then what a PIC port can supply (~20mA) you
will need to buffer the outputs with something. I recommend using some
"jellybean" NPN transistors, doesn't really matter which ones since you
won't be drawing that much current and you don't need super hihg speed.
HOwever to go further I need the specs for the LEDs you are using. TTYL
