Did any kings from the Northern Kingdom of Israel do right in the eyes of the Lord?

None. 1K 16:

25 Omri did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more evil than all who were before him. 26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in the sins that he made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.
Every Northern king walked in the way of Jeroboam's idol worship.

Jehu was singled out who did some good. 2K 10:

28 Jehu wiped out Baal from Israel. 29 But Jehu did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin—that is, the golden calves that were in Bethel and in Dan. 30 And the Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” 31 But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam, which he made Israel to sin.
King Jehu was the Northern king that did the most good in the eyes of the Lord but in the final analysis, he still followed the sins of Jeroboam, making Israel sin in idol worship.
