You don't want amber running lights in the rear, it's confusing to other drivers. I'm pretty sure it's also illegal. Any constant-on lights in the rear should be red, only indicators may be amber.
As far as wiring, you need to get yourself some dual-filament housings and bulbs and then you can wire the 5w filament to any switched power source on the bike - these will be your running lights. The 20w filament will be your indicators.
That being said, red indicators can also be confusing, especially if you happen to be fairly jerky with your brakes. If you're on/off/on/off with your brakes when you have an indicator blinking, this leads to more confusion. This is why indicators on vehicles in Europe are all amber. Don't need to be confused which way someone is going when you're flying down the A9.
