What kind of battery is it? and what the max voltage of the leds are.

most LED's run at 3v so unless you run a 2.2k reistor in-line you will blow them , also be aware that you need to have the polarity the right way +to+
-to-

if you just want them on connect em dirrectly to you battery pack or an external pack made from watch battries

you cant conduct bst outside of the bst area, and you do not have the required posts to be able to bst either.
