I've downloaded the ShineLT and GlowLTL maps but there's no instructions on how to install them. And I can't seem to be able to search this board.

I've looked through all the install guides and they have absolutely no mention of how to install these files. Now I know you put the vp files in the root directory of Freespace2 install directory, but where do I put these? And is there a way to tell if they are actually installled correctly and working?

I'm not sure about this, one of the pros shall be here anytime soon. I think you just extract them to \data\maps folder. Shouldn't you see if they work or not just by looking at the ship in the tech room?

The mediaVP files include the shinemaps and glowmaps.

The ShineLT and GlowLT maps were the way that the maps were originally released. They have now been moved inside the mediaVP files and you should use those instead.

Since you already have the mediaVPs installing those two would actually downgrade the quality of the game since any files which have changed since Lightspeed made them (about a year ago) would be overridden by the old versions.
