Help needed with wiring and electrical project...

Ok, what I'm trying to do is hook up some 12v LEDs to work in conjunction with my alarm LED. I won't say where or what these other LEDs are I'm refering to, as I'm trying to keep an original idea here, at least while I can. So the LEDs I have, when I tap them into the circuit for my alarm LED, they light up, but barely. The alarm LED curcuit operates at 3.2 volts roughly (tested it with a multimeter), and I need a way to get the other LEDs I have to flash with my main alarm LED, but I need the power going to them to be somehow boosted up to 12 volts for them to light up bright and properly. How would I go about doing this? Would I use a relay of some sort, or a switch, or what? Electronic gurus out there, PLEASE help!
