Thank you to everyone who replied to my post. This group is excellent! The parallel resistor across each bulb is definitely simplest, and from what I have tried, the most effective. When I tried this the bulbs became completely dark when "off". However, this is not my favorite solution. I already have printed circuit boards made and every additional component added after the fact is a pain.
