Tried this on my Breadboard, works a treat.
Hmmm....have to work out how to ad a JPG to this...

Ah, there it is, I hope. I know it means 2 extra LEDs, but that's gotta be cheaper than changing the PIC or messing around with the power supply.
With the pin as an input, the 5 volt rail is not enough to turn on any of the leds, but setting the pin Hi or Lo the voltage is enough to turn on 2 of them. Also no current drawn during the Input stage.
