Well, you could use a DPST and 2 identical circuits, one for the amber and 1 for the white LEDs, a simple capacitor circuit should work, you should experiment with capacitors to see which one fits your needs, then get the same exact components again to build a second circuit. Hook each of the + lines to the different rails on the DPST switch, and presto you have a circuit.
Someone else on here should be able to provide you with a LED fader circuit, which I am guessing is going to be a VERY SIMPLE capacitor, wire, and battery type fader.
