LEDs in parallel with each other? It's unlikely that all would light,
since the threshold voltages would be slightly different, and the one
that's lowest would prevent the others from lighting.

As someone said earlier, your LEDs probably are actually LED modules,
and come with built-in resistors. You have a separate resistor in
series with each LED.

He said 3V LEDs in one post - that implies the internal resister.
