How many LEDs or how much current?
 
I found this link real quick.

Maybe try searching for "driving led 555 high current"
 
Talks about sourcing or sinking 200mA directly with 555.
I you need a lot more current, the MOSFET used in DPRG is a real nice way  to 
go.
 
The above search quickly located example circuits using common NPN  
transistors.
