Yeah I usually prep the area with isopropyl alcohol and use a utility knife to cut it to shape. I try to have at least 2 areas with 3m double sided tape cut to fit and that usually does the trick. You want flat spots on the sidemarker and the part of the car where it is gonna be taped onto. It's not exactly flush due to the thickness of the tape but at least it stays on.
