We know, that if a human makes the Shinigami eye deal, he will lose half of
his remaining lifespan. But, let's say Light made the shinigami deal. He might
have killed L earlier, thus prolonging his life again. So here is my
questions:

Would Light have lived longer, if he would have had the Shinigami eyes?

Would the Shinigami eye deal have shortened Light's lifespan?


Hypothetically speaking(since that is what it means to give Light the
shinigami eyes at an early stage), if you give Light the shinigami eyes, the
early he could have killed L, was when they were frequenting the same
school/university and at that point L was already highly suspicious of Light
to the point of tracking him.

If L were to die there regardless of how, it would trigger L's successors to
come in with all the already collected information which again would be
focused towards Light with the prediction of not to expose yourself to Light.

There is the fact pointed that Light could not kill without knowing one's name
based on L's experiment, but would that be suffice for them to cease
investigations at such an early stage which not even L ceased him self?

Well assuming Light had a long life ahead of him (no health issues) the answer
is an obvious yes knowing the chain of events we know.

You're probably asking if Near/Mello would have caught him anyway, but it was
already established Near only won due to the combined help he got from L's
investigation and Mello's actions. Light was the better intellect (plus in
your scenario he has his eyes).

But of course no way for Light to know this and he assumed he can beat
anything that gets thrown at him. Probably rightfully so, as the Mikami
zealousness/sloppiness caused the downfall at the end, not Light's plan.
