Dented headlight save?

-

Finally riding a big boys bike
This is off a '38 Swedish bike I'll be working on soon - I'd really like to save it. Any tips on how to undent it and make it presentable? Try working it out from the inside ala paintless dent repair (rubbing on it with a spoon, so to speak?)? Send it to an expert? I have a few body working tools - hammers/dollies- but close to zero experience. Just a bit hard to bang away, in such a small space. Any suggestions? Thanks.

i saw a member post this about 5 weeks ago ,but can not find it now.
fill the case with water and stick in the freezer.i tried it with the cone of
a horn light i have and here are the before and after pics.i filled it with
water and stuck it in a glass to hold it upright,took it out every 3 days
and removed the ice and refilled with water.and put back in the freezer.
this took about 3 weeks.
