Narrative:
Upon clearing runway 28L, pit tower cleared us to taxi 'C' left on 'right' hold short of runway 28C on 'right'. We did so but rolling 5-10 ft past the hold short line. This note is to advise of the poorly lit and marked hold short position. It would be very easy for an aircraft to think he was short of 28C and not so.
