Narrative:

Hold short line crossing. It was dark. I was cleared to taxi from runway 17R after landing to hold short of runway 17C. I did not see the hold lights on the east side of runway 17C. I do not believe they were lighted. I did see the hold lights on the west side of runway 17C. As I approached runway 17C my taxi lights illuminated runway 17C. I was able to hold short of the runway however we crossed the unilluminated hold line on the east side of runway 17C. Supplemental information from acn 447260: after landing runway 17R we were instructed to hold short runway 17C on taxiway er. The aircraft was allowed to cross the hold short line by a few ft. As we were about to inform tower of this, tower cleared us to cross runway 17C on taxiway er.
