What is the best product to use to restore the taillight reflectors? Most of the chrome like finish has come off.

I found some chrome tape at a truck accessory site that I was able to cut and tape into the bucket. Seems to be OK, but I imagine that having it rechromed would be the best way. If there was a way to do this in a home environment, I think there would be plenty of call for this service as all these reflectors are showing their age. I wonder how they were originally finished.
