you can use some clay, or if this doesn't work, ask your passenger to hold them up against the panels all throughout the trip.

I think this is a sign from God that neon bars are forbidden in Mercedes. Give them to someone with a Honda.

3m makes those adhesive things that stick forever and when you decide you are sick of it you just tugg on this tab that they have and they come loose... they work great.

On a more serious note, try rubbing the area with nail polish remover before you stick the lights on. It is the oil on the dash that is keeping it from sticking.
