If i remember correctly, the writer of death note was asked about this question in the volume 13 of the manga, "do you consider L good as the good guys, and light evil?" the answer he gives is "no, both of them should be consider evil since they used all the power in their hand for the personal goal, in the case of light, he want to use the death note to create a utopian society, where he is the god. In the case of L, he used all the method he have (including illegal ones) to catch kira, not because what he is doing is against the law, but because he want to prove he is smarter and better than light." and in the end he says "The only character who can be consider to be the good guys, is light's father."
