It means to fool you. It's a slang term from the Sixties and Seventies, when hippies would "shine on the man" or try to fool or mislead police.

To shine someone on is to taunt or deceive them by any means but usually putting on a good face. It is a variant of putting someone on. It invokes imagery of shining light in one's eyes so they can't see what is straight in front of them.
