I preheated housings to around a 150 silicone plugs in sockets shot them with Columbia coatings chrome powder, put them in the oven at 350 for a few minutes till powder flowed then removed and used an infrared lamp and a small heat gun ( the ones used to remove iPhone screens et).
Only reason I did powder was because I had it, spray on chrome paint will work too and less fuss. Several threads on taillight resto just do a Google search.
