Default Removing dents from headlight bucket

Unfortunately, the photos probably don't show the dents as well as I'd like, but I have one headlight bucket which has a couple of dents and dings in it. The worst dent just does snot show up well in photos.

What is the best method to remove them? They will be blacked out and not re-chromed when done as they are going on a daily driver or will end up being some extra parts in the future. I hate to toss them as I feel they can be salvaged.

I wanted to try to repair them at home instead of taking them to a painless dent removal place or body shop and paying a fortune to do this work. However, I find it a bit difficult to work inside the curved bucket.

Any tips on the best method to use in hammering them out a bit better?

Thanks.
