Shine as tin legs might? (7)

I believe the answer is:

glisten

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shine' is the definition.
(I know that shine can be written as glisten)

'tin legs might?' is the wordplay.
'tin legs' anagrams to 'GLISTEN'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glisten that I've seen before include "Reflect" , "Tingles (anag) - shine" , "Gleam by reflecting light" , "gloss" , "Let sing (anag) -- shine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
