i am wanting to install some led's in an clear xbox 360 controller

the battery pack runs 3v
i have some 5mm blue led's that run 20ma at 3.2v with resistors

according to a calculator, this will not work
Is there something i can do to make this work? I am wanting to run 4 led bulbs. I can't find any blue led's that run under 3.2v

help

You might be lucky, the leds may not be exactly 3.2V and the battery may well be higher than 3V, however i would be inclined to use a linear technology booster, they have some designed for energy harvesting that might fit the bill nicely i am sure someone will be along soon with a better answer though
