Narrative:

Taxiing to runway 27L at mlb in the early morning (night conditions) we xed over the hold line for runway 27L. This airport has one hold line for two runways, runway 27L and 22. Due to the night conditions and a hold line that was not easy to see, led us to cross over the line. I believe there should have been an information sign next to the hold line stating that this hold line is for both runways. During day conditions I don't think this would have happened.
