Default Longride shields tint question

Thinking about getting a 17 inch shield from them for my Road King Custom. I have smoked lenses on my turn signals (bullet style) and I think it would look decent if the tint of the windshield was roughly the same as the lenses. Would that be a light or a medium, ya think?

I have the medium tint and think its a pretty good match. I believe they say the dark cannot be seen through so IMO doesn't match the lenses on the turn signals

You can see through their dark, but some people might not find it very easy to do at night.

Personally, when I think of "smoke", I think of their medium or a more brownish color.

Regardless, check with LRS.

Dark is not easy to see though at night. Especially if you have bad nighttime vision like me. And the dark is way darker than the smoke signal lenses. I think the medium tint would be a good match. Light tint is very minimal.
